1,1,1,2,1?? This can be continued 1,1,2,1,1,1,2,1,.... with an occasional glitch, where a 2 becomes a 1. This is the number of days in a year, modulo 7.

This is the number of chimes struck by a clock that chimes the hours
and once on the half hour, starting at 12:30, and followed by 1:00,
1:30, 2:00, 2:30. Therefore the next numbers in the sequence are
3, 1, 4, 1, etc.
Haven't we seen this here recently?

Correct! As for its prior appearance, I couldn't say. I've been on the net since only 20 APR, but I did research back to note #1 before posting this. Sorry. -- T.F.Prune
