500 reputation bounty - for cracking this whitespace cop
As computers get faster and faster or other mathematical developements arise (sorry can't entirely give away the premise), this may become crackable. At any such time I will award the mathematical genius 500 reputation points.
this is my first golf contest.
What you need to do
Build me, in the shortest amount of bytes possible, my AC remote control system. My room is too cold right now, and I'm missing my remote.
Now, I don't want you literally building it or anything, just golf this:

Your task is to implement integer sequence A130826:
an is the smallest positive integer such that an - n is an entire multiple of 3 and twice the number of divisors of (an - n) / 3 gives the nth term in the first differences of the seq...
Given a String and an Array as input, your task is to output the text the input String will print when typed on a typical Mobile Keypad. In a Mobile Keypad, a letter is typed by pressing a button n times, where n is the position of where the letter is at on the button's label. So, 22 should outpu...
