Sequence A028931 in OEIS (see: https://oeis.org/A028931)
Strings giving winning positions in Tchoukaillon (or Mancala) solitaire
Using the chromatic (tet-12) scale, (if C=0, 12, 24…) the integers in this sequence correspond exactly to six consecutive semi-tones from G# to C#, evenly bisecting the octave & omitting the other half of the scale from D to F# (see keyboard image & table below). The recursive pattern is C, C#, G#, A, Bb, B…the only possible collection of 6 pitches that avoids a tritone (IC6).
