 | Here's a sequence
<1234567898765432>
Here's a list
<111111111111111>
<121212121212121>
<123123123123123>
Now put a bar after the 1st digit position
|
<1 | 234567898765432>
|
<1 | 11111111111111>
<1 | 21212121212121>
<1 | 23123123123123>
|
How FAR can you move the BAR?
|
<12 | 34567898765432>
|
<11 | 1111111111111>
<12 | 1212121212121>
<12 | 3123123123123>
|
THAT PORTION OF THE SEQUENCE IS ON THE LIST TOO.
Can you get any *more* than that finite amount?
|
<123 | 4567898765432>
|
<111 | 111111111111>
<121 | 212121212121>
<123 | 123123123123>
|
The SEQUENCE is on the list to 3 DIGITS.
That difficult! This is the closest anyone got to phrasing it.
1) "If every prefix of the diagonal is a prefix for some flipper, what
is the maximum length of the prefixes of the diagonal represented by the
flippers?" infinite
