Are You Mathematically Challenged?

[Sinmaker]

Thank you Sir!

And while we are on the subject, what is this called:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987...

I'll give you a hint, it started out with rabbits.

 

[Sinmaker]

Fibonacci numbers or something like that
every number is the sum of the two previous numbers

 

[FreeOnes_Anders]

Well done.

So wait, you mean that isn't how your weekly bar tab using the FreeOnes business credit card has grown? :tongue:

(I assume the increased growth was in response to your ever growing need to cope while working in that environment.)

Well done.

Thank You

Who said it wasnt? :glugglug:

No one.

to graduate in high school you needed to have passed just 1 math class, math1 but then you could move onto math2 then to algebra1-algebra2 then i think onto
another wacky class like geometry which like algebra 2 was like "advanced" math
well i took math1 freshman yr and never took another because i would never need to figure out an equation like this in my lifetime for ANYTHING important PLUS after math1 in the real world you are allowed to use calculators!

 

[busenbust]

I can't even count my rep !

Thats ok, we need people for manual labour.

The father of mathematical progressions. A portion of the postal exam follows this type of problem.

Well... Here is a new sequence...
Hint: as developer, this is stuff I have sometimes to work with and everyone who works with computers will probably have been using this (or similar) sequences (un)knowingly...

1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 13112221 1113213211

Enjoy

And no cheating ... eh googling

I love this one, don't know what it's called but i used to continue it when i was bored in school:
next number is 31131211131221

 

[Sinmaker]

If someone can tell me the next number ill give rep

Punch that equation as it reads into a calculator and you'll get the wrong answer. I'll have fries with that, please. You have to learn how to read the equation before you can figure it out with a calculator, son. And everybody learned this stuff in grade school, btw!

Took me a while, but I think its a rosetta code.

Next number:
13211311123113112211



@freeones_anders:
I can give you the answer, but then you're out of the game for this round.
