Citat

  • Thomas Munk Christensenhar citeratför 6 år sedan
    That’s precisely the rule that generates the sequence 1,3,7,15,31, ... Each number is twice the preceding number plus one, and each number is also one less than the appropriate power of 2.
  • Thomas Munk Christensenhar citeratför 6 år sedan
    Show the pattern 1,3,7 to a mathematician, and he or she will notice that each number is 1 less than the next power of 2:1 is 1 less than 2, 3 is 1 less than 4, and 7 is 1 less than 8. He or she will then conjecture that it takes 264—1 moves to transfer 64 disks.

    The primary purpose of division is to share a number of items as equally as possible.
