Also 50% and landed in Oranos.

Later saw the "cheat" referred to at DarkUFO as a "Conway Sequence". Wacky world, had no probs my example which I've seen before called a "Look-and-say sequence".

What's wicked ironic here is that these sequences are associated with Robert Morris. While in charge of computer security at NSA he ironically said "The three golden rules to ensure computer security are: do not own a computer; do not power it on; and do not use it" Laughing

And,of course,it's transpired that Hans v E. has some major issues with his own computer security network.

Haven't taken the new test just yet, but what's the deal with the new video? Am I the only one who feels the need to cheat... more? Wink

Some of those sequences are really difficult to figure out. I saw some that followed:

a ⁿ⁺¹ = a ⁿ +(-1) ⁿ (x) ^k
where k is some integer: 2, 3, 4,...
and x is a fibonnaci number: b ⁿ⁺¹ = b ⁿ + b ^n-1

I also saw one that was like:

a ⁿ⁺¹ = a ⁿ + x ⁿ - y ^n-1
where x and y were integers: (3,2), (5,4), ...

And then there was the simple one:

1, 1, 1, 1, ...
