Okay, so this has me stumped. I can tell it's not Fibonacci or Lucas Numbers because of the third term, yet I can't determine a ratio + difference that will fit the sequence as a combination.

Turns out it's a sequence within a sequence (wtf?)

Sequence One:
Sequence Two:




Such a bizarre question,

sequenception!
