3 1 6 3 2 1 4 n
Proof of conjecture for n>=12: 3 1 6 3 2 | 1 4 n 1 4 n | 6 3 2 6 3 2 n n n n 2 n n n | n 0 2 n n n n 0 2 n n n n 0 n 0 2 n n n n 0 2 n n n n 0 …2n n's… …n+12 n's… Testing shows it is also true for 0,1,3,6, and 11. The rest of 5,7,8,9, and 10 appear somewhat dubious. --Ørjan (talk) 23:55, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Disproof for 5,7-10:

All of n=5,7,8,9 eventually give sequences containing the following subsequence: …n-1 n's… 0 …n-1 n's… 0 …n-1 n's… 0 …n-1 n's… Also, no number higher than n occurs otherwise in the sequence. From this we see that the previous command to run before this subsequence can delete at most n+1 integers from its front. In all the possible alignment cases, the subsequence reappears inside its produced result, thus preserving 0's indefinitely.

For n=10 a similar argument works for the subsequence …8 10's… 0 0 …8 10's… 0 0 …8 10's… 0 0 …8 10's…. --Ørjan (talk) 23:29, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
