VMO 1995 Problem 2

    The sequence a0a_0, a1a_1, a2a_2, ... is defined by a0a_0 = 1, a1a_1 = 3, an+2a_{n+2} = an+1a_{n+1} + 9an9a_n for n even, 9an+19a_{n+1} + 5an5a_n for n odd. Show that a19952a_{1995}^2 + a19962a_{1996}^2 + a19972a_{1997}^2 + a19982a_{1998}^2 + a19992a_{1999}^2 + a20002a_{2000}^2 is divisible by 20, and that no a2n+1a_{2n+1} is a square.
