EXAMPLE
From Omar E. Pol, Mar 01 2015: (Start)
Written as an irregular triangle in which the row lengths are the terms of A011782, the sequence begins:
1;
3;
3,9;
3,7,9,17;
3,9,7,21,9,17,17,33;
3,9,9,27,7,17,21,43,9,27,17,51,17,35,33,67;
3,9,9,27,9,21,27,51,7,21,17,51,21,41,43,83,9,27,27,81,17,43,51,113,17,51,35,105,33,67,67,137;
Thanks to Michel Marcus we can see the first few terms of the next four rows as shown below:
3,9,9,27,9,21,27,51,9,27,21,63,27,51,51,99,7,21,...
3,9,9,27,9,21,27,51,9,27,21,63,27,51,51,99,9,27,27,...
3,9,9,27,9,21,27,51,9,27,21,63,27,51,51,99,9,27,27,81,...
3,9,9,27,9,21,27,51,9,27,21,63,27,51,51,99,9,27,27,81,21,...
...
Apparently in each row the first quarter of the terms (and no more) are equal to 3 times the beginning of the sequence itself (comment corrected after Sloane's comment in A247649, Mar 03 2015).
