A033952

Write 1,2,... in a clockwise spiral on a square lattice, writing each digit at a separate lattice point, starting with 1 at the origin and 2 at x=0, y=-1; sequence gives the numbers on the positive x-axis.

1, 8, 6, 2, 3, 6, 6, 0, 3, 1, 8, 0, 2, 7, 1, 3, 9, 3, 4, 3, 9, 6, 0, 6, 8, 9, 6, 1, 2, 4, 2, 1, 5, 9, 4, 1, 0, 7, 7, 1, 7, 8, 0, 2, 6, 3, 4, 2, 7, 1, 8, 2, 0, 2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6, 3, 2, 4, 1, 4, 1, 5, 6, 4, 2, 9, 2, 5, 5, 6, 8, 5, 0, 6, 4, 6, 7, 9, 0, 7, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 6, 4, 8, 0, 9, 1, 9, 5, 5, 9, 1, 0, 4, 0, 0, 9
