COMMENTS
Cyclops palindromic numbers in base 2 are numbers with middle bit 0, having equal number of 1's on both side of the 0. There is a single 0 bit in the middle and the total number of bits is odd. The middle '0' represents the eye of a cyclops.
a(n) mod 6 = 0.

FORMULA
a(n) = (-2*(1+((-2)^n)-(2^(2*n+1))))/3.
EXAMPLE
90 is in the sequence because the binary reflected Gray code representation of 90 is '1110111' which is a cyclops palindromic binary number.
