Scratch that!

Trading (any) performance and utility (whatsoever) for brevity, here's
finally a one liner version:

#!perl -l
$r=qr/4(??{$r})*2/;s/^$r*$/y*42*()**print/efor($=x=pop)/2..$=

Not only accomplishing the given task, this little script will also use
up all your CPU and more! Use argument 4 for extra sluggishness!

Argument >= 4 will even overflow the counter variable to protect your
precious processor cycles!
