FORMULA
0.40821075451094657... = (1/2) A007400.
Recurrence: a(8n)=1, a(8n+4)=a(16n+14)=a(32n+26)=2, a(16n+6)=a(32n+10)=3, a(8n+3)=4, a(8n+7)=a(16n+5)=a(32n+9)=8, a(16n+13)=a(32n+25)=12, a(8n+1)=a(4n+1), a(8n+2)=a(4n+2), starting 2,2,4 (conjectured).
EXAMPLE
0.40821075451094657... = 2/(2+1/(2+1/(4+1/(2+1/(8+1/(3+1/8...
