IP Logged rmsgrey Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 2872 Re: Sequence   « Reply #5 on: Aug 31st, 2004, 7:19am » Quote Modify Since I'm only familiar with one property exclusively shared by 6 and 28 below 100, it wasn't too hard to make the leap and deduce that that was the property unifying the sequence. Had I bothered to calculate the next term, that would have taken far more time than recognising the sequence did. Had I attempted to prove that that was the next term, I'd probably still be working at it unless I either delegated much of the work to a computer, or got hit by an insight that escaped me last time I tackled the problem (over a decade ago) IP Logged Pages: 1  Reply Notify of replies Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- riddles -----------------------------  - easy => medium   - hard   - what am i   - what happened   - microsoft   - cs   - putnam exam (pure math)   - suggestions, help, and FAQ   - general problem-solving / chatting / whatever ----------------------------- general -----------------------------  - guestbook   - truth   - complex analysis   - wanted   - psychology   - chinese « Previous topic | Next topic »
