A086651 a(1)=1, a(2)=1 and for n > 2, a(n) is the smallest positive integer such that the third-order absolute difference gives the Fibonacci numbers A000045 = {1,1,2,3,5,8,...}. 0

%N a(1)=1, a(2)=1 and for n > 2, a(n) is the smallest positive integer such that the third-order absolute difference gives the Fibonacci numbers A000045 = {1,1,2,3,5,8,...}.

%C It appears that a(6k+3) is always 2. Is this easy to prove?
