Comments

Period 66. The sequence begins (from offset 0) with its lexicographically earliest rotation.

The mean value of terms in the whole period of 66 is 6.72727.

Examples

			See illustrations in A179412. In all the first four patterns there are alive cells in four rows, thus a(0)=a(1)=a(2)=a(3)=4.
