COMMENTS
All numbers that end in 3 will begin with numbers from previous row (for example, 3413 is 341&3). - Jean-Bernard François, Sep 09 2013
The sequence is a permutation of the odd positive integers. - Bob Selcoe, Jul 26 2015

FORMULA
Let g(n)= floor((n+1)/3), then T(n,k) = 2^(2*(k+1)-1) *(n+g(n)) + (4^(k+1)-1)/3. - Maon Wenders, Jul 15 2012
t(n, k) = 4*t(n, k-1) + 1. - Jean-Bernard François, Sep 09 2013
EXAMPLE
t(1, 2) = 53 = 4*13+1, t(2, 5) = 7509 = 4*1877+1.

Construct array by writing odd numbers in columns, taking first overflow after two steps and then an overflow each fourth step (for each column).
