@christianp I heard Sloane give a talk on his favorite sequences that had been contributed by a certain prolific sequence-finder, and I was interested to observe that, had I noticed any of those sequences myself, I would have deemed them too uninteresting to submit. I wanted to write a blog article about it, but I couldn't come up with a version that didn't sound like I was criticizing Sloane or the sequence-finder out of envy.

@christianp isn't this also a finite sequence too not sure how the rounding works, but presumably the rounding down would make you smaller than a millimetre and thus you have no paper sizes left
