The integers of the sequence appear exactly twice. Between the two copies of k there are k odd integers. The sequence is always extended with the smallest integer not leading to a contradiction.

%e There is one odd integer between the two 1s: this is the integer 3;

%e there are two odd integers between the two 2s: they are 3 and 1;

%e there are three odd integers between the two 3s: they are 1, 5 and 7; etc.
