%N Fixed points of sequence A262211 which yields the minimum number of 12's such that [n; 12, ..., 12, n] = [x; ..., x] for some x; [...] being continued fractions.

%C Surprisingly, the variant A213900 with 11 instead of 12 has the same fixed points A000057 as the variant with 1 instead of 12, but other variants (A262212 - A262220 and A262211) have different sets of fixed points (A213891 - A213899 and this).
