Problem Statement

Consider an in finite sequence consisting of distinct positive integers such that each term (except the rst one) is either an arithmetic mean or a geometric mean of two neighboring terms. Does it necessarily imply that starting at some point the sequence becomes either arithmetic progression or a geometric progression?
