a(n) is equal to a(2n) with the 1's and 2s reversed, thus a(n) = a(4n). - Donald Sampson (marsquo(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 01 2003

Formula

If n>2^A001511(n) then a(n)=a(n-2^A001511(n))-(-1)^A001511(n) mod 3 =A060572(n-2^A001511(n)), otherwise a(k)=0. Also A001511(n)-th digit from right of A055662(n-1).

Example

Start by moving first disk from peg 0 (to peg 1), second disk from peg 0 (to peg 2), first disk form peg 1 (to peg 2), etc. so sequence starts 0,0,1,...
