The first few centered pentagonal numbers are
1, 6, 16, 31, 51, 76, 106, 141, 181, 226, 276, 331, 391, 456, 526, 601, 681, 766, 856, 951, 1051, 1156, 1266, 1381, 1501, 1626, 1756, 1891, 2031, 2176, 2326, 2481, 2641, 2806, 2976 (sequence A005891 in the OEIS).
The parity of centered pentagonal numbers follows the pattern odd-even-even-odd, and in base 10 the units follow the pattern 1-6-6-1.
