Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Period 6: repeat [8, 7, 4, 5, 2, 1].
%C Obtained through reversion of the period in A153990, or by taking a half period of A154811.
%C Shares digits with other 6-periodic sequences, see the list in A153130.
