A curious limit

Consider the following sequence of fractions.

As it turns out, these fractions converge to 0.70710678118…, or to be precise, to sqrt(2)/2. The sequence is related to the Thue–Morse sequence.

There exists locally isometric transformation between helicoid and catenoid. This is because they have same Gaussian curvature on each points.

Today I learned about a rather remarkable open problem in mathematics, which looks tantalizingly easy. The question was posed by Ron Graham.

Consider the following recursively defined sequence:

Innocent question: is this sequence unbounded? Surprisingly, the answer to this is unknown—at least according to the source article dating from 2000, Unbounded orbits and binary digits by M. Chamberland and M. Martelli.
