A067150 Number of integers i=1,2,...,n such that (n,i) has Property F3*, i.e., i and n are consecutive terms of a sequence b(k) satisfying b(1)=1, b(n) = (b(n-1) OR 2*b(n-1)) + b(n-2), where the OR is taken bitwise.

Surprisingly, for k > 0, we find that a(2^k) = F(k-1), where {F(n)} is the sequence of Fibonacci numbers (A000045). Also, except for n = 2^3 = 8, these values are exactly those where new records in a(n) are made.

The definition can be restated as follows: a(n) is the number of integers i, 0 < i < n such that i and n are consecutive terms of some sequence b(k) satisfying b(1)=1 and b(k) = 3#b(k-1) + b(k-2), where # denotes OR-numbral multiplication (see A048888 for the definition).

If the OR-numbral multiplier 3 in the definition is replaced by 7, the resulting sequence has as record values the tribonacci numbers in A000073.
