%N Intervals between iterations at which Langton's Ant living on triangular tiling reaches the distance of n from the origin for the first time.
%C The distance is defined as the number of steps needed to reach the origin (analog of Manhattan distance). It seems that starting from n=625 (which corresponds to iterations around 26,000,000), a(n)=53 for odd n. [amended by _Andrey Zabolotskiy_, Oct 09 2016]
