The normal user need not worry about the second offset, but for those who are interested, here are the details. <p> The second offset says which term (counting from the left, and labeling the first term with 1), first exceeds 1 in absolute value. It is set to 1 if all the terms are 0 or +-1. <p> The reason for this goes back to the very beginning of the database. <p> All the sequences in the database are (virtually) arranged lexicographically, but to do that they have to be lined up, and they are lined up so the first field they are sorted on is the first term >= 2 in magnitude. <p> You cannot compare the Fibonacci numbers and the primes unless you line them up properly: <pre> 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ... 2 3 5 7 11 13 ... </pre> You mark the first term > 1 in magnitude with asterisks (this position is the second offset): <pre> 0 1 1 *2* 3 5 8 13 21 ... (second offset is 4) *2* 3 5 7 11 13 ... (second offset is 1) </pre> and now you can compare them. They are out of order! The correct order is <pre> 2 3 5 7 11 13 ... 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ... </pre> The primes come before the Fibonacci numbers. <p> You can see this arrangement if you look at the line in any entry that says "Sequence in context" That shows you the three sequences before and after the one you are looking at, in the lexicographic order. <p> However, if all terms are less than 2 in magnitude, you can't sort them like this. So those get sorted on the first field — these sequences have second offset equal to 1. </li> </ul> <p> <h3><a name="RA"><font color="red">Author</font></a></h3> <ul> <li>This line gives the name of the person or persons who contributed the sequence.
