@(anonymous): It’s certainly do-able, but whereas I was able to find a single simple summation formula for the day that asked for no odd consecutive amounts, this one has eluded me so just wondering if an elegant approach does exist

@Aisha: Thanks! I did think of that originally but even going back now I can’t seem to find a neat way to apply that approach (and even the OEIS doesn’t seem to give one for the sequence I get solving this for smaller cases). Would be interested to know how you went about this! As it happens, with a bit more thought I did end up finding a single (double-summation) formula that could be used to calculate this

I eventually coded Day 21 and while I can certainly see how it could be broken down into a very large number of cases for the purposes of calculation, I am wondering if there is an elegant approach to this one?
