%N Number of senary sequences of length n such that no two consecutive terms have distance 2.
%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_02">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (6, -6).
%F For n>2, a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2), a(1)=6, a(2)=28.
%F G.f.: (1 - 2*x^2)/(1 - 6*x + 6*x^2).
