    The Fibonacci numbers F0,F1,F2,…F_{0}, F_{1}, F_{2}, \ldots are defined inductively by F0=0,F1=1F_{0}=0, F_{1}=1, and Fn+1=Fn+Fn−1F_{n+1}=F_{n}+F_{n-1} for n⩾1n \geqslant 1. Given an integer n⩾2n \geqslant 2, determine the smallest size of a set SS of integers such that for every k=2,3,…,nk=2,3, \ldots, n there exist some x,y∈Sx, y \in S such that x−y=Fkx-y=F_{k}.
