EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1, so the 4th run has length 1, so a(5) must be 1 and a(6) must be 2.
a(2) = 2, so the 5th run has length 2, so a(7) = 1 and a(8) = 2.
a(3) = 2, so the 6th run has length 2, so a(9) = 2 and a(10) = 1.
Globally, the runlength sequence is 1,2,1,1,2,2,1,2,1,1,2,2,1,2,2,1,...., and deleting the first 3 terms leaves the same sequence.
