Comments

Called "Perec's sequence" by E. Angelini, with reference to Perec's 300 page novel "La disparition", lacking the letter 'e'.

Examples

			The sequence spelled out in French reads: cinq, sEpt, un, onzE, dEux, un, trois, trEize, ...
Counting the length of chunks of letters different from 'E' ("cinqs", "ptunonz", "d", "uxuntroistr", ...) yields: 5, 7, 1, 11, ..., which reproduces the sequence.
