%N A138702 a(n) = number of terms in the continued fraction of the absolute value of B_n, the n-th Bernoulli number.
%C A138702 The continued fraction terms being counted include the initial 0, if there is one. (a(n), for all odd n >= 3, is 1.)

%e A138702 The 12th Bernoulli number is -691/2730. Now 691/2730 has the continued fraction 0 + 1/(3 + 1/(1 + 1/(19 + 1/(3 + 1/11)))), which has 6 terms (including the zero). So a(12) = 6.
