Two puzzles(?)

To hv,
	I feel in the case where a generator having (subjective, yes)
relatively low complexity can found to satisfy some output, the
information you want isn't lacking.  Supposing a sequence is not
algorithmically random that information is, at worst, only hiding ;)

To zak,
	First puzzle seq is A, second is B.  For as many terms as given, where
c[] is the natural complement, it is easy to find that the following
identities hold:

	A = 3*c[B]
	B = 2*c[A]
	thus
	A = 3*c[2*c[A]]
	B = 2*c[3*c[B]]	

	As far as a closed formula..?  I have no experience closing this type
of relation.
