%N n-th distinct number to appear in A055168; also the n-th to appear in A217760.

%C Conjecture: this sequence is a permutation of the nonnegative integers.

%C This is the limiting sequence of the noun-integers in the n-th segment generated as in A217760 (but not A055186); see Example.

%C The conjecture is true: the number 0 appears in every segment of A055168, and, for n > 0, n appears in the (n+1)-th segment (as the number of occurrences of 0 in the previous segments). - _Rémy Sigrist_, Oct 16 2017

%e Following the adjective-before-noun definition at A217760, the first segments are

%e 0..1..2 1..3 3 1..4 5 2 2..5 6 5 3 1 1..6 9 6 5 2 4 1..

%e ...0..0 1..0 1 2..0 1 2 3..0 1 2 3 4 5..0 1 2 3 4 5 6..

%e (continuing:)

%e 7 11 8 6 4 6 4 1....8 13 9 7 7 7 5 2 1 1..1

%e 0..1 2 3 4 5 6 9....0..1 2 3 4 5 6 9 7 11 8,

%e this last segment counting the "8 0's and 13 1's and 9 2's..." which have previously appeared. The numbers 8, 13, 9 are used as adjectives and the numbers 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 9 7 11 8 (as in A055170) are used as nouns.
