EXAMPLE
Start with A033307 (decimal expansion of Champernowne's constant): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 1, 6, 1, 7, 1, 8, 1, 9, 2, 0, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 5, 2, 6, 2, 7, 2, 8, 2, 9, 3, 0, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 5, 3, 6, 3, 7, 3, 8, 3, 9, 4, 0, 4, 1, 4, 2, 4, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 4, 6, 4, 7, 4, 8, 4, 9, 5, 0, 5, 1, 5, 2, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 5,...
Now erase a digit when it is placed between two digits having the same parity -- and do this repeatedly.
Example:
1,2,3,... erase 2
You get now:
1,3,4,5,... erase 4
You get now: 1,3,5,... erase 3
You get now: 1,5,6,7,... erase 6
You get now: 1,5,7,... erase 5 etc.
The surviving digits are this sequence:
1,9,2,2,9,9,4,4,9,9,6,6,9,9,8,8,9,1,0,0,1,1,0,...
and the original "untouched" positive integers, A228585:
1, 29, 49, 69, 89, 219, 239, 259, 279, 419, 439, ...
We obtain a new constant,
0.1922994499669988910011003100510071...
