A110917 Conversion to a regular-simple continued-fraction approximation of the limit value (C0=2.7745963816360040537087...) of the continued fraction (numerator = A110976 and denominator = A110977) based on the sequence of the distances of n from closest primes (A051699).

With the exception of n = 3, it should be abs(a(n)-a(n-1)) = < 1 for all n. Hill-mountain-like plot, with land = 2.

The value of the continued fraction (for n to infinity) is 2.77459638163600405370875399896...; A(n) = A(n+2) if d(n) =2 and d(n+2) = 0

			if n = 2, A(n) = A(2) = 3 because A(0) = 2, A(1) = 1 * A(0) + 1 = 3, as the distances of n from closest prime are 2, 1, 0, 0, 1 ...
