    A sequence of integers a0,a1,a2,…a_{0}, a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots is called kawaii, if a0=0,a1=1a_{0}=0, a_{1}=1, and, for any positive integer nn, we have (an+1−3an+2an−1)(an+1−4an+3an−1)=0.\left(a_{n+1}-3 a_{n}+2 a_{n-1}\right)\left(a_{n+1}-4 a_{n}+3 a_{n-1}\right)=0 . An integer is called kawaii if it belongs to a kawaii sequence. Suppose that two consecutive positive integers mm and m+1m+1 are both kawaii (not necessarily belonging to the same kawaii sequence). Prove that 3 divides mm, and that m/3m / 3 is kawaii. (China)
