Write down in binary the n-th positive (odd) integer that is a palindrome in base 2. Take only the leftmost half of the digits (including the middle digit if there are an odd number of digits). a(n) is the decimal equivalent of the result.

FORMULA

a(1) = a(2) = 1; for i >= 2, a(2 i-1) = 2 a(i-1) and a(2 i) = 2 a(i-1) + 1. Robert Israel, Apr 03 2014

EXAMPLE
|
27 is the 9th (odd) palindrome when written in binary. 27 in binary is 11011. Take the leftmost half of the digits (including the middle digit), and we have 110. a(9) is decimal equivalent of this, which is 6.
