What's special about this sequence of numbers.
0 1 10 1001 10010110
Many things but here it is played to give a hint to the big one:

A fine guess but no. The answer has nothing to do with music but if you listen carefully to the sequence turned into music.... Here's a cleaner example: http://reglos.de/musinum/midi/.....urundi.mid
Pi is an irrational number. This is an infinitely extensible sequence but not a number. Even stranger, in it's way.

It's the Thue-Morse sequence. Bad trivia question but super nifty oddity (see below). New question: why is the Sphinx missing its nose?
Many of the mathematical oddities of Thue-Morse are above my brain's pay grade but some are easily understood. One is that music made from it mimics things like traditional gamelon or Bach fugues but it never repeats exactly. It feels like there's a regular musical structure, albeit a complex one, but it never resolves. I find it quite eerie, always on the edge of digestion.
Also, it's very easy to generate: 0 becomes 01, 1 becomes 10 on each step. In base ten 0, 1, 6, 105, 27030, 1771476585 and so on. Any part can be pulled out to reproduce the whole sequence.

This is why, when we finally get our missile silo, the launch codes will only be released to a select few members of the community, no matter how long they've been around or how nicely they ask. I can't have someone launching one of the Tap-Repeatedly missiles some Tuesday afternoon just because they're bored.
Life is the misery we endure between disappointments.
