%N A101274 a(1)=1; for n>1, a(n) is the smallest positive integer such that the 
               set of all sums of adjacent elements up to and including a(n) contains 
               no number more than once.
%C A101274 Does the sequence together with the sums of adjacent elements include 
               all positive integers? Choosing starting values other than a(1)=1 
               gives other sequences. We could ask, for a given n, which such sequences 
               have the smallest sum of a(k) from k=1 to n.
%e A101274 a(8)=21 because the set of sums of adjacent elements to this point, call 
               it s(7) is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,17,18,19,20,23,24,27,
               29,30,32,37,41,43,44}.
%e A101274 The first number missing from this list is 15, but a(8) cannot equal 
               15 because 15+14=29 and 29 is already in s(7). Similarly a(8) cannot 
               be 16 because 16+14=30.
