%F a(n) = floor((12n-3)/7).

%F From _Chai Wah Wu_, Sep 11 2018: (Start)

%F a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n > 8.

%F G.f. for a keyboard with infinite number of keys: x*(x^7 + 2*x^6 + x^5 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^3 + x^2 + 2*x + 1)/(x^8 - x^7 - x + 1). (End)

%F a(n) = A060107(n) + 1 for 1 <= n <= 36. - _Jianing Song_, Oct 14 2019

%e First, 3rd, 4th, 6th, etc. keys of piano keyboard are white.
