Adam, Thanks for that sequence! I was reading a collection of parodies of Hemingway last night - there used to be an annual competition for the Best of Bad Hemingway, which made me think that we might have a contest for the best sequence which is clearly unacceptable for the OEIS. I now have 3 candidates: A248027 (sent in very recently): The years the highest grossing films of all time were released 2009, 1997, 2012, 2011, 2013, 2013, 2011, 2003, 2012, 2012 List may change depending on future films released (rejected) "Number of pages in volume n of the Harry Potter books" a few years ago. Don't recall the values (which were pretty meaningless, of course). And yours:
From Adam P. Goucher, Sep 29 2014: The sequence of Microsoft Windows versions which are integers: 1, 2, 3, 95, 98, 2000, 7, 8, 10, ...
Yours is at least well-defined, so maybe it should go into the OEIS, which would disqualify it Neil On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 5:27 PM, Adam P. Goucher <apgoucher@gmx.com> wrote:

This is precisely the sort of thing that would end up on the OEIS with the `dumb' keyword:
