The nn-(n+1)(n+1)-(n+2)(n+2) conjecture for fibre products

Let

N1Γ1π1Q,N2Γ2π2QN_1\hookrightarrow\Gamma_1\xrightarrow{\pi_1}Q,\qquad N_2\hookrightarrow\Gamma_2\xrightarrow{\pi_2}Q

be short exact sequences of groups, and define their fibre product by

P={(γ1,γ2)Γ1×Γ2π1(γ1)=π2(γ2)}.P=\{(\gamma_1,\gamma_2)\in\Gamma_1\times\Gamma_2\mid \pi_1(\gamma_1)=\pi_2(\gamma_2)\}.

The nn-(n+1)(n+1)-(n+2)(n+2) conjecture. If N1N_1 is of type Fn\operatorname{F}_n, both Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2 are of type Fn+1\operatorname{F}_{n+1}, and QQ is of type Fn+2\operatorname{F}_{n+2}, then PP is of type Fn+1\operatorname{F}_{n+1}. The case n=1n=1 is the proved 11-22-33 Theorem; the general statement remains open.
