We place labeled points on a circle as follows. At step 1, take two points at opposite ends of a diameter and label them both 1. At step , place a point at the midpoint of each arc created at step and label it with the sum of the labels at the two adjacent points. What is the total sum of the labels after step ?
For example, after step 4 we have: 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 3, 4.
