%N a(1) = 1; for n > 1, a(n) is the smallest unused positive number such that 2^a(n) contains a(n-1) as a substring.
%C The sequence is conjectured to be a permutation of the positive integers.
%H Scott R. Shannon, <a href="/A371904/b371904.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>
%e a(2) = 4 as 2^4 = 16 which contains a(n-1) = a(1) = '1' as a substring.
%e a(7) = 14 as 2^14 = 16384 which contains a(n-1) = a(6) = '3' as a substring. Note that 2^5 = 32 also contains '3' as a substring but 5 has already been used.
