%N a(n) is the minimal number of successive OFF cells that appears in n-th generation of rule-30 1D cellular automaton started from a single ON cell.
%C OFF cells outside the triangle of active cells are ignored.

%F It is conjectured that for all n>=10, a(n)=1.
%F A period-4 pattern of length-1 runs starting at row 26 forces a(n) = 1 for all n >= 26 (see image). - _Charlie Neder_, Dec 15 2018
