The aim of our investigation is an attempt to answer two still unsolved questions about Kolakoski sequence (K
n)
n≥1: Is there an explicit expression of the
nth term K
n, and the second one, known as the conjecture of Keane, claims that the asymptotic density of twos, is

In the first section of this paper, we present a new formula for K
n according to K
1, K
2, …K
p where

In the second part, we define three sequences satisfying the condition U
iV
i=W
i, and using the fact that (V
i) increases at least exponentially while (W
i) does not, we conclude that (U
i) should converge to zero. Our argument is inductive but so strong to insure the validity of the conjecture in concern with density of twos.
