The integer sequence $(s_i)$ "having pattern 2016'" is defined as follows:\\
$\circ$ The first member $s_1$ is 2.\\
$\circ$ The second member $s_2$ is the least positive integer exceeding $s_1$ and having digit 0 in its decimal notation.\\
$\circ$ The third member $s_3$ is the least positive integer exceeding $s_2$ and having digit 1 in its decimal notation.\\
$\circ$ The third member $s_3$ is the least positive integer exceeding $s_2$ and having digit 6 in its decimal notation.\\
