Consider https://oeis.org/A014221 - a(n+1) = 2^a(n), and
https://oeis.org/A014221 - a(n+1) = 3^a(n).
Now merge the two sequences:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 16, 27, 65536, 7625597484987[, 2^65536]
We're interested here in how the merge proceeds, so drop the initial 0,
1, and replace each subsequent term with it's base:
2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3[, 2]
How does this sequence continue? Does it alternate from here between
2's and 3's, or are there more 2,2 substrings? Is there an efficient
way to compute the sequence?
