APOORIDDLE! \[\large \mathsf {\color{crimson}{APOORIDDLE}} \color{crimson}{\text{#2}} \] Find out the next two bases in the tower sequence below: 1 11 21 1211 3112 211213 312213 212223 Also, what happens to the sequence ultimately?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same old same old :)

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Okay @asnaseer gets this problem, and gets this!!! --> \[\huge \color{gold}{★★★}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

114213 ...

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

yeah same old @FoolForMath , but not everyone was here since eternity - plus I modified the original one a bit.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

thx apoorvk - now if only I could take those gold stars and pin them on my virtual image :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about my gold star?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

@diyadiya gets both parts right next. For her ---> \[\huge \color {gold}{★★}\] @FoolForMath , you are already a genius, you have come across this plentiful times before, plus you posted only one part :D. Still, well deserving, for you--> \[\large \color {gold}{★★}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, Thanks! :D

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

\[\large \color{gold}{ Thanks :) }\]

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

shouldn't the 4th number in thr sequence be 1112 ????

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

\[\huge{\color{red}{\normalsize\text{W}}\color{orange}{\normalsize\text{e}}\color{#9c9a2e}{\normalsize\text{l}}\color{green}{\normalsize\text{c}}\color{blue}{\normalsize\text{o}}\color{purple}{\normalsize\text{m}}\color{purple}{\normalsize\text{e}}\color{red}{\normalsize\text{}}\color{orange}{\normalsize\text{}}}\]

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

@PaxPolaris - maybe. won't matter though.

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

You can assume that as '1112' as well - same stuff.

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Nobody else? It's SUNDAY folks!

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

114213 31121314 41122314 31221324 21322314 21322314 21322314

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Wonderfullll!!! Late but nevertheless for @PaxPolaris a very well deserved --> \[\huge \color {gold}{★★}\]

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

So, you see the tower stabilises at a point, and it looks like- 1 11 21 1211 3112 211213 312213 212223 114213 31121314 41122314 31221324 21322314 21322314 21322314 21322314 21322314 21322314 . . . . . . A bit like the Empire State Building maybe? ;)

deja vu that strange feeling you get when you think you've been there before

Lol

A (very) similar problem: What's the next row in this pattern? 1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 13112221 1113213211

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

31131211131221

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

I am right, right?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Looks correct to me

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

It's basically the <no. of digits><which digit> in sequence - not taking all occurences in the same line at once.

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Exactly. Although I wonder if it ever starts repeating.

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Or at least gets a repeating pattern.

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

I don't think so.. let's see. Won't stabilise according to me... let's find out.

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Some repeating patterns sounds plausible, but I also doubt it would ever fully repeat.

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

In fact it con't even converge. nah.

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

This one is less of tower, and more of a mountain! (with decreasing slope)

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Nice afternoon hike then :)

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Haha..:D

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

this seems familiar @apoorvk =_=

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Don't worry, it's not ripped off from you - and this one is modified a bit ;)

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

**has been

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

gooood =_=
