These are my preliminary, quick and dirty results.  There may be an error, 
for instance if phi isn't calculated accurately enough.  But I get 439203 
(Lucas[27]-1) as not the sum of distinct Lucas numbers, it is the 121394th 
such term, but the conjecture of n gives 439206.

Again, these are preliminary results, so I'm not sure of them.
