Kotěšovec's Fibonacci-period conjecture for queens

About 10 years old · traced to

Let FqF_q be the qqth Fibonacci number, let [Fq]={1,2,…,Fq}[F_q]=\{1,2,\ldots,F_q\}, and let uQ(q;n)u_{\mathbb Q}(q;n) be the counting quasipolynomial for qq queens. Kotěšovec's conjecture. The period of uQ(q;n)u_{\mathbb Q}(q;n) is

lcm⁡[Fq],\operatorname{lcm}[F_q],

the least common multiple of all positive integers up through FqF_q. Kotěšovec's conjectured periods through q=7q=7 agree with this formula, but the general assertion is not proved in the supplied text.
