A165460
The height at the 1/3 point of Jacobi-bridge, computed for 12n+7. a(n) = Sum_{i=0..(4n+2)} J(i,12n+7), where J(i,m) is the Jacobi symbol.

Conjecture: a(2n) = 2*A165605(2n) and a(2n+1) = (2/3)*A165605(2n+1). - Antti Karttunen, Oct 05 2009. (If true, then implies also the truth of conjecture in A165462.)
