    Logic / Math Puzzle... 1=1 2=1 3=3 4=8 5=55 6=? This is the first puzzle I've devised myself. I hope you don't solve it too fast. :)

            According to Piebald, correct. According to me, incorrect.

                      But I can justify my answer Your numbers 1,1,3,8,55,... Fibonacci - with yours marked by X

                      0,
                      1, X First pair of numbers
                      1, X <-- next number
                      2, < Gap of one number
                      3, X Second pair of numbers
                      5,
                      8, X <-- next number +1
                      13,
                      21, < Gap of three numbers
                      34,
                      55, X Third pair of numbers
                      89,
                      144,
                      233, Z <-- next number plus 2
                      377,
                      610,
                      987

                      So the sequence is pairs from the Fibonacci series, the gap between successive pairs increasing (1,3... presumably 5, 7, 9) while the gaps between each number in the pair increases by 1)

                          Excel says the formula is y = 1.5833x4 - 15.667x3 + 55.417x2 - 80.333x + 40 so I get 221 for 6!?

                                        Both of those are correct. I think you have the solution. What is it?

                                          a. Prime-indexed terms of the standard Fibonacci sequence b. Knuth's Fibonacci (or circle) product or, (where they came from) sequences A121567 and A101361 from the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences[^] Just type "1,1,3,8,55" into the search box. That URL is a wonderful timewaster (and might even impress those who peek over your shoulder! :-D ) Cheers, Peter
