Can Anyone Decipher This Sequence?

Can Anyone Decipher This Sequence?
This is the ULTIMATE nerd trap! The sequence is actually a visual representation of binary counting, where each position shows the number of "1" bits in that index. So we have: 1 has one "1" bit 2 has one "1" bit 3 would have two "1" bits (it's 11 in binary) 4 would have one "1" bit ... And 50? It's 110010 in binary, which has THREE "1" bits! The joke is that math nerds will spend way too much time trying to find some complex pattern when it's actually just a bit-counting sequence. Your weekend plans? CANCELLED while you figure this out! 🤓
