1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 18, 19, 21, 26, 28, 29, 32, 33, 35, 36, 39, 43, 44, 46, 47, 54, 56, 59, 60, 62, 63, 68, 69, 71, 72, 80, 82, 86, 88, 91, 93, 94, 99, 103, 106, 113, 115, 116, 120, 122, 127, 130, 131, 133, 134, 137, 141, 142, 144, 145, 149, 154

1,2
COMMENTS
If the restriction "increasing" is removed sequence A094870 is obtained.
EXAMPLE
3 is out because of 1,2,3. 7 is out because of 1,4,7.
8 is allowed even though 2,5,8 appears in the sequence, because 2, 5, and 8 are not spaced equidistant within the sequence.
