Here is a list of numerical sequences:




  • 1, 3, 5, 4

  • 2, 3, 5, 4

  • 3, 5, 4

  • 4

  • 5, 4

  • 6, 3, 5, 4

  • ...and so on.


(1 is 3 and 2 is 3, but 1 is not 2 and 2 is not 1. The same rule applies to every number in the sequence.)



There is a simple rule that governs these sequences. What is it?

Use spoiler tags in your answer, please.

          The rule is...




          The next number in the sequence is the number of characters in the previous number when spelled out.
          Each of the sequences end on 4 because it has 4 characters and the sequence is then essentially eternal.




          Let's take a look at the first sequence:




          1: 'o' + 'n' + 'e' = 3
          3: 't' + 'h' + 'r' + 'e' + 'e' = 5
          5: 'f' + 'i' + 'v' + 'e' = 4
          And 4 goes on forever so it is terminal.

                    0 $begingroup$ I'm fairly new to coding and I wrote this script in Python for a house with a roof in Minecraft Pi. I've found different ways to write the coordinates to make the code base shorter, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to refactor it any further so I don't have to list each coordinate line by line. import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft import mcpi.block as block mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() p = mc.player.getTilePos() mc.setBlocks(p.x+1, p.y, p.z+1, #Main structure starting coordinates (DO NOT ALTER) p.x+19, p.y+4, p.z+6, #Structure size/coordinates (Alters cube size) block.STONE_BRICK) mc.setBlocks(p.x+2, p.y+1, p.z+2, #Hollowing out main structure interior p.x+18, p.y+3, p.z+5, block.AIR) mc.setBlocks(p.x, p.y...
