COMMENTS
This sequence diverges from A225571 at 477th term. Here a(477) = 17408, while A225571(477) = 17380. - Giovanni Resta, Jul 29 2013

EXAMPLE
After terms 0, 1, 3, 4 have been added, the terms 5,...,9 are forbidden by subsequences (3,4,5), (0,3,6), (1,4,7), (0,4,8) and (1,3,9) so the next term is 10.
