%N If any power of 2 ends with k 6's and 7's, they must be the first k terms of this sequence in reverse order.
%C From _Robert Israel_, Mar 30 2018: (Start)
%C a(0)=6. If the concatenation 6a(n)...a(0) (as a decimal number) is divisible by 2^(n+2) then a(n+1)=6, otherwise a(n+1)=7.
%C Pomerance (see link) shows the sequence is not eventually periodic. (End)
