X(.0348) + .0001

This one is a bit of a toughy.

1, 2, 15, 44, 95

These numbers are accurate, I checked them and double checked them. Good luck.

This One Would Probobly be really easy to you people:

815, 724, 633, 542,____

archbishopjabber · 05-4-2007, 11:28 PM

Yes it is easy: 815 - 91(x-1)

Anyone able to solve mine?

Alright, 100 credits to whoever can figure out the solution.

**Doug31** · 05-5-2007, 06:49 PM

I dunno, you took the center number of the second difference to be 16, then subtracted 2*the first prime to get the number before that, and added 2*the second prime to get the number after that. Then undifferenced all that to get your way back up to that sequence, then added/subtracted from it to set the first number equal to 1 and did the same to the rest of them numbers? Lol, I bet I'm off by miles.

Give me time lol.

Ichiro_Suzuki_desu · 05-5-2007, 07:18 PM

6n^2-17n+12?

T0rajir0u · 05-5-2007, 07:27 PM

0, Infinity, 5, 6, 3, 3, 3, ...

Thread over. (Yes, there is a pattern. No, you will never get it.)

**Doug31** · 05-5-2007, 07:51 PM

Ok, for archbishopjabber's:
.0833~x^4-.1666~x^3+4.9166~x^2-13.833~x+10?

doing an n-1 order polynomial fit to a set of n points is hard and what the problem creator obviously intended

How the blazing daylights did you get all that from those numbers?

**Doug31** · 05-5-2007, 08:29 PM

I typed them into my calculator and did a quartic regression.

thepondermatic · 05-5-2007, 10:40 PM

1, 5, 14, 30, 55, 91...

craZ_kylo · 05-5-2007, 10:41 PM

well duh the answer is chuck norris

Adding consecutive squares. 1+2^2=5, 5+3^2=14, 14+4^2=30, etc.

Win.

This one can't be continued.
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 22, 24, 1010

T0rajir0u · 05-6-2007, 01:05 AM

10 in base 10-k.

My question remains delightfully unanswered.

Edit: Here's a fun one. I'll add a lot of terms so it's not impossible.

0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 6, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 6, 6, 1, 0, 16, 1, 18, 0, ...

archbishopjabber · 05-6-2007, 01:44 AM

I'm to tired to solve that right now, I will try it later. The solution to mine (since no one got it) was

|x^3 - x^2 - x|

| | means absolute value if you don't know...

Period of decimal representation of 1/n, or 0 if 1/n terminates.
