Tower of Hanoi: the optimal way to move an even number of disks from peg 0 to peg 2 or an odd number from peg 0 to peg 1 is on move n to move disk A001511 from peg A060571 to peg A060572 (here).

If written in a fractal pattern of 4 X 4 squares, skipping the first square, going right then down then right then down, etc.:
X122 1011 ...
1011 0200
2200 1122
2122 1011
a number of patterns become apparent. Most notably the central diagonal going from the X down and to the right, when the 1's and 2's are reversed, gives the sequence A060571. When the same process is applied to A060571, this sequence emerges. - Donald Sampson (marsquo(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 01 2003

FORMULA
|
If a(n)=0 then a(2n)=0, If a(n)=1 then a(2n)=2, If a(n)=2 then a(2n)=1, Thus a(n)=a(4n). - Donald Sampson (marsquo(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 01 2003
a(5n) = A060571(n) with the 1's and 2s reversed. - Donald Sampson (marsquo(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 08 2003

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