The fourth (A246360(4) = 5) and the fifth (A246360(5) = 8) record of A048673 (1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 8, ...) occur at A029744(4) = 4 and A029744(5) = 6 respectively. In range between, the maximum must occur at 5, where A048673(5) = 4, thus a(4-3) = a(1) = 4. (All the previous records of A048673 are in consecutive positions, 1, 2, 3, 4, thus there are no previous subrecords). The ninth (A246360(9) = 68) and the tenth (A246360(10) = 122) record of A048673 occur at A029744(9) = 24 and A029744(10) = 32 respectively. For n in range 25 .. 31 the values of A048673 are: 25, 26, 63, 50, 16, 53, 19, of which 63 is the maximum, thus a(9-3) = a(6) = 63.
