I am disappointed the rule read "progressive." "Sequential" would have
been a lot more fun...
Fibonacci sequence would be a sequential number (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8). In
fact, the 20th Q made would be # 6,765. That's right...fifteen minutes
in and already 6k Q's. But you have to send the # 1 twice, so this one
is sort of dirty.
Even better, the Morris Number sequence (1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221,
312211). Holy cow, the 6th Q is # 312,211!
Is it April 1 yet? I think we've had this discussion before...
