Sequences

Number Theory Level pending

Let S S be the set of all ordered triplets of integers ( a 1 , a 2 , a 3 ) (a_1,a_2,a_3) with 1 a 1 , a 2 , a 3 10 1\le { a }_{ 1 },{ a }_{ 2 },{ a }_{ 3 }\le 10 . Each ordered triple in S S generates a sequence according to the rule a n = a n 1 a n 2 a n 3 { a }_{ n }={ a }_{ n-1 }\cdot \left| { a }_{ n-2 }-{ a }_{ n-3 } \right| for all n 4 n\ge 4 . Find the number of such sequences for which a n = 0 a_n=0 for some value of n n .


The answer is 494.
