Jean-Marc,

This is wonderful. Thanks. I need to take a Mathematica seminar so that I
can understand your function code.

A couple of questions.

If you have time, would you look at my Table and If statement and tell me
why it is not updating the A136164 list? In my archaic way, I would like to
some up with a second rendering of the sequence.

Secondly, the ccp@Range[30] sequence above replicates A136164. However, the
ccp[Range[30], 2] list does not match A136165, which looks as follows. Could
you take a look?
{1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,3,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,3,1,2,1,1,2,4, ...}

Thanks, Diana
