Aggregated Counting Meetup (ACM) is a regular event hosted by Intercontinental Crazily Passionate Counters (ICPC). The ICPC people recently proposed an interesting sequence at ACM2016 and encountered a problem needed to be solved.
The sequence is generated by the following scheme.
1. First, write down 1, 2 on a paper.
2. The 2nd number is 2, write down 2 2’s (including the one originally on the paper). The paper thus has 1, 2, 2 written on it.
3. The 3rd number is 2, write down 2 3’s. 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 is now shown on the paper.
4. The 4th number is 3, write down 3 4’s. 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4 is now shown on the paper.
5. The procedure continues indefinitely as you can imagine. 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, . . . .
The ICPC is widely renowned for its counting ability. At ACM2016, they came up with all sorts of intriguing problems in regard to this sequence, and here is one: Given a positive number $n$, First of all, find out the position of the last $n$ that appeared in the sequence. For instance, the position of the last 3 is 5, the position of the last 4 is 8. After obtaining the position, do the same again: Find out the position of the last (position number). For instance, the position of the last 3 is 5, and the position of the last 5 is 11. ICPC would like you to help them tackle such problems efficiently.
