Sequence Sum (Posted on 2003-12-08) Difficulty: 2 of 5
In a certain sequence, the next term is found by taking the number before it minus the number two numbers before it.

For example, in the sequence a, b, c, d... c = b-a, d = c-b, and so on.

Starting with 54 and 93, what would be the sum of the first six thousand terms?
