%N Lenny Conundrum #151: An apparently arbitrary list of numbers a(n) paired with 3*a(n) + 1.
%C a(8) = 757 is the solution to the original puzzle which gave only seven terms.

%e a(5) = 3*a(1) + 1
%e a(2) = 3*a(6) + 1
%e a(3) = 3*a(7) + 1
%e a(8) = 3*a(4) + 1
%e So perhaps some pairs were switched in the original puzzle?
