%N A079273 Octo numbers (a polygonal sequence): 5n^2-6n+2, or (n-1)^2 + (2n-1)^2.
%C A079273 a(n+1) = a(n)+10n-1 and n+a(n) is always congruent to 2 mod 10 (notice
pattern of final digits). a(n)= the n-th hex number (3n^2-3n+1) added
to the (2n-2)nd triangular number (2n^2-3n+1). The formula for the
n-th octo number can be written as (2n-1)^2 + (n-1)^2; compare to
formula for n-th octagonal number, n(3n-2)= (2n-1)^2 - (n-1)^2.
%C A079273 a(n+1)=5n^2+4n+1 is also the number of ways of realizing the amount 10n
using only coins with values 1, 2 and 5. [From François Brunault

%e A079273 a(4)=58 because 58 dots can be arranged into a simple octagonal pattern
with 4 dots on each side, its rows from top to bottom containing
4,5,6,7,7,7,7,6,5 and 4 dots respectively. The pattern is similar
to the pattern for hex numbers (see link), with the exception that
while the n-th hex figure has only 1 row of length 2n-1 dots (the
maximum length) in the center, the n-th octo figure has n such rows.
