Hello David,

... yes, I fully agree with you.

Is the hereunder idea 'chaff' ?

S = 1, 1, 6, 58, 5829, 58292915, ...

Start with 1

S = 1

Question (a) : is "1" odd or even?
Answer: "1" is odd
Question (b) : what is the rank of "1" in the Odd numbers seq.? http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A005408
Answer: "1" is the first odd integer, it's rank is = 1
Action : write this rank as a new term of S :

S = 1, 1,

Question (a) : is "11" (concatenation of all preceding digits) odd or even?
Answer: "11" is odd
Question (b) : what is the rank of "11" in the Odd numbers seq.?
Answer: "11" is the 6th integer, it's rank is = 6
Action : write this rank as a new term of S :

S = 1, 1, 6, 

Question (a) : is "116" (concatenation of all preceding digits) odd or even?
Answer: "116" is even
Question (b) : what is the rank of "116" in the Even numbers seq.? http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A005843
Answer: "116" is the 58th integer, it's rank is = 58
Action : write this rank as a new term of S :

S = 1, 1, 6, 58, 

Question (a) : is "11658" (concatenation of all preceding digits) odd or even?
Answer: "11658" is even
Question (b) : what is the rank of "11658" in the Even numbers seq.?
Answer: "11658" is the 5829th integer, it's rank is = 5829
Action : write this rank as a new term of S :

S = 1, 1, 6, 58, 5829, ...

... etc. 

I have computed this array yesterday (by hand):

 S(1) =  1, 1,  6,   58,     5829,    58292915, ...
 S(2) =  2, 1, 11, 1056, 10555528, ...
 S(3) =  3, 2, 16, 1608, 16080804, ...
 S(4) =  4, 2, 21, 2111, 21106056, ...
 S(5) =  5, 3, 27, 2664, 26636332, ...
 S(6) =  6, 3, 32, 3166, 31661583, ...
 S(7) =  7, 4, 37, 3719, 37186860, ...
 S(8) =  8, 4, 42, 4221, 42212111, ...
 S(9) =  9, 5, 48, 4774, 47742387, ...     
S(10) = 10, 5, 53, 5277, 52767639, ...

Could someone extend this array (to the right) -- or at least S(1)?

Best,
É.
