Please do not post laundry lists of problems on these boards.

This is absolutely the very last time that I will warn you about violating our Forum Guidelines. The next time that I see you violate our rules, I will kick you off the boards for one month. I am receiving too many complaints about you; dealing with these multiple complaints is A WASTE OF MY TIME. Capish?

By the way, your first instruction above makes sense to me only after I replace the word "down" with the phrase "a definition for". It is impossible for even GOD to write down an infinite list of numbers.

Don't be sorry try something and show us what you have tried! Did you notice that, for (2), 5= 2+ 3, 11= 5+ 6, and 20= 11+ 9? For 3, what different ways are there to go from 1 to 4? multiply by something? Add something? How about from 4 to 20? 20 to 120?
