A089293
Sum of digits in the mixed-base enumeration system n=...d(4)d(3)d(2)d(1), where the digits satisfy 0<=d(i)<=1 if i is odd, 0<=d(i)<=2 if i is even.

COMMENTS
Counting 0,1,2,3,... (base 10) in this mixed-base system proceeds as follows: 0,1,10,11,20,21,100,101,110,111,120,121,1000,.. = A109827.
FORMULA
a(n)=a(n-1)+1 if n=1, 3, 5 mod 6; a(n)=a(n-1) if n=2, 4 mod 5; a(n)=a(n/6) if n=0 mod 6.
EXAMPLE
11(base 10) = 121(mixed-base), so a(11)=4.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = vecsum(digits(n, 6)\/2); \\ Kevin Ryde, Aug 03 2021
