You might need to check your sums Zara :-)
Maybe I misunderstood you but when I use your formula I get: 2, 3, 6,
"infinity", -6.
I also don't feel comfortable with "infinity" as a term in a sequence. I
think that's cheating a little bit. My series has no infinite terms although
they do keep on increasing at an ever increasing rate.
I admire your tenacity. Have another try!

:I think I have the perfect solution:
:
: 0, 1, 2, infinite, -6, ....

: It is easy: 6/(3-n)
