Fibonacci Bins

The numbers 1 through n n (inclusive) are separated into 2 bins.

For each bin, no two different numbers in it can add up to a Fibonacci number .

The Fibonacci numbers are given by:

1 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 , 13 , 21.... 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21....

And in general they satisfy the following recursion relation:

  • F ( 0 ) = F ( 1 ) = 1 F(0) = F(1) = 1
  • F ( n ) = F ( n 2 ) + F ( n 1 ) F(n) = F(n-2) + F(n-1) for n > 1 n > 1

What is the largest n n for which this is possible?

If you think the answer is infinite, please put 99999 as your answer.
