S000417

The smallest lion is a collection of four Gaussian primes z-1, z+1, z-i, and z+i for a complex number z. Sequence S000416 lists the distance from the origin to the center of a 4-lion. The 4th link below shows a plot exhibiting the symmetry. The terms on the diagonal x=y have coordinates x given in A109306.
