What number starts the longest sequence containing 2008?
1961,1964,1969,1972,1977,1981,1984,1989,1993,1996,2001,2005,2008 (length 13)

Other question :
What numbers CANNOT BE PART of a Rule D2 sequence (except for first term) ?

1,2,3,5,12,15,17,24,27,29,35,36,39,41,45,48,51,53,60,63,65,72,75,77,84,87,89,95,96,99,101,105,108,111,113,120,123,

2008 is not reachable - The above numbers are 'nearly' all multiple of 6

This gives the following sequence :
1,3,8,20,46,96,204,420,864,1752,3520,7068,14160,28360,56736,113508,227040,454176,908424,1816944,3633908,7267828,
