This is a 3-automatic sequence.
FORMULA
For a natural number n, we have that a(n) = 1 if the ternary expansion of n is of the form 100...0 or is of the form 11...1200...0 for an even number of ones in this latter case, allowing runs of integers to be of length 0; a(n) = 2 if the ternary expansion of n is of the form 11...1200...0 if the length of the run of ones is odd; otherwise, a(n) = 0.
EXAMPLE
We have that A000699(5) = 248, with 248 == 2 (mod 3), and the ternary expansion of 5 is given by the tuple (1, 2), so according to the above formula we have that a(5) = 2.
