Actually, Josh used "sequence" in one part of the sentence and "set" in the other, which is enough to clarify that the two are distinct. Yes, some of the solutions posted here mixed them up. "We are looking for sequences of n > 0 integers where the absolute values of the differences of successive elements are included in the set of numbers 1 through n - 1." I hope this serves as a warning to the contestants for the $10k prize! I would write an automated test for your program before submitting it. In fact, you'll probably get the most benefit if you write the test before writing the program. The test is just as valuable as the code. Oh, and get lots of sleep.
