    Suppose that s1,s2,s3,…s_{1}, s_{2}, s_{3}, \ldots is a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers such that the subsequences ss1,ss2,ss3,… and ss1+1,ss2+1,ss3+1,…s_{s_{1}}, s_{s_{2}}, s_{s_{3}}, \ldots \text { and } s_{s_{1}+1}, s_{s_{2}+1}, s_{s_{3}+1}, \ldots are both arithmetic progressions. Prove that s1,s2,s3,…s_{1}, s_{2}, s_{3}, \ldots is itself an arithmetic progression.
