even the unlikely f(6n)= 10^n *seems* to hold : up to n=24: {1,1,2,2,4,2,10,2,16,8,34,2,100,2,130,38,256,2,1000,2,1156,134,2050,2,10000} this is as far as I can go. the rest is for educated folks.

Some patterns here look intriguing. Like
f(2^n) = 2^(2^(n-1))
for one, and
f(6n) = 10^n
for another. Do these extend?
I'm doubtful about the second. But the first one does.
