==Solution==
We can deduce that any valid sequence of length <math>n</math> wil start with a 0 followed by either "10" or "110".
Because of this, we can define a recursive function:
 
<math>f(n) = f(n-3) + f(n-2)</math>
 
This is because for any valid sequence of length <math>n</math>, you can remove either the last 2 numbers ("10) or the last three numbers ("110") and the sequence would still satisfy the given conditions.
 
Since f(5) = 1 and f(6) = 2, you build up until <math>f(19) = 65 \tab \boxed{C}</math>
