Problem
Let 
be the sequence of real numbers defined by 
, and in general,
![\[a_k=\begin{cases}(0.\underbrace{20101\cdots 0101}_{k+2\text{ digits}})^{a_{k-1}}\qquad\text{if }k\text{ is odd,}\\(0.\underbrace{20101\cdots 01011}_{k+2\text{ digits}})^{a_{k-1}}\qquad\text{if }k\text{ is even.}\end{cases}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/0/6/006ecf77f807aa89b66a8e2e9f281e579e7cd062.png)
Rearranging the numbers in the sequence in decreasing order produces a new sequence 
. What is the sum of all integers 
, 
, such that 
$\textbf{(A)}\ 671\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 1006\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 1341\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 2011\qquad\textbf{(E)}\2012$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
