%N Consider the sequence defined in A083952 as a string of the digits 1 and 2. Then a(n) is the beginning position of the first occurrence of just n consecutive 1's at every other position.

%e a(0) = 6 because A083952(6) is an isolated 1,

%e a(1) = 0 because A083952(0) = A083952(2) = 1 but A083952(4) = 2,

%e a(2) = 198 because A083952(198) = A083952(200) = A083952(202) = 1, but A083952(196) = A083952(204) = 2, etc.
