%C While this sequence has period 8, the unrounded version b(n) = (b(n-1) + b(n-2))/b(n-3) seems to have a quasi-period of about 8.7 for this particular starting point.

%C The unrounded version b(n) = A185332(n) / A185341(n) as given in A205303 has 8.694171... quasi-period. - _Michael Somos_, Oct 22 2018

%F a(n) = a(n-8).

%e a(7) = round((a(6) + a(5))/a(4)) = round((5+3)/2) = 4.
