Title: Continue a sequence
Post by Leo Broukhis on Feb 9th, 2009, 5:59pm
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 7, 6, 9, 16, 11, 32, ...

Don't bother looking in OEIS, it's not there (yet).

Hint: note 16 and 32 sticking out.
Hint 2: note where the powers of 2 are.

Maybe another hint: each positive integer appears exactly once in the sequence.
