%N Median Euler numbers (the middle numbers of Arnold's shuttle triangle).

%C Also central terms of the triangle in A008280. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Nov 01 2013

%C Conjecture: taking the sequence modulo an integer k gives an eventually purely periodic sequence with period dividing phi(k). For example, the sequence taken modulo 9 begins [1, 1, 4, 1, 7, 4, 1, 7, 4, 1, 7, ...] with an apparent period [4, 1, 7] of length 3 = phi(9)/2 beginning at a(2). - _Peter Bala_, May 08 2023
