does it work for the centre outwards, increasing to the right decreasing to the left?

Google seems to have changed, its now giving me some other one in english this time.
Ah well time to spoil it. . . . .
The pattern is based on the number of leds required for a calculator to display each digit.

Ahhhh, I see:

Code:

 _     _  _       _   _  _   _   _
| | |  _| _| |_| |_  |_   | |_| |_|
|_| | |_  _|   |  _| |_|  | |_|   |
 6  2  5  5   4   5   6  3   7   5

That's clever. Hard to find out, but clever...
