[b]p1[/b]. Your Halloween took a bad turn, and you are trapped on a small rock above a sea of lava. You are on rock $1$, and rocks $2$ through $12$ are arranged in a straight line in front of you. You want to get to rock $12$. You must jump from rock to rock, and you can either (1) jump from rock $n$ to $n + 1$ or (2) jump from rock $n$ to $n + 2$. Unfortunately, you are weak from eating too much candy, and you cannot do (2) twice in a row. How many different sequences of jumps will take you to your destination?
