You got it - a time generator is just that - if you need a little
time in your busy day, then make a little time. (It's a machine, not
a pill :)
I take it my solution was (eerrrrghgh) incorrect. Don't give the
answer to your series - leave it and see if it gets solved by anybody.
I just looked for "Life, the Universe, and Everything" and I take it
you haven't uploaded it yet. Will patiently wait for the Answer.
re: "umpteen" and "eleventy-six" (and a zillion). I know you're
joking here, so I'll just say that imaginary numbers are actually
used by some people, useful in doing AC (electricity) calculations,
then (generally) extracting the "real" component for the result. One
can google "imaginary numbers electricity" for more.
These are (all of) my solvable sim levels from Challenge-II.lvl, all
variations on a sim theme-
1184 1185 1186 1291 1292 1293 1294 1295
I think those were actually the last levels that I made for solving
other than a few tradition levels in LaserTank.lvl. All my other
simulation/machinery type levels are in Special-I.lvl and Special-
I_No-LPB.lvl.
Not knowing a lot about number series, I don't think think this (my
series) is actually anything special (just made up), but here is more
of it (not a complex algorithm):
0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 16, 24, 34,
46, 60, 76, 94, 114, ...
re: leftward - there may be a problem on an imaginary level :)
BTW, I just googled "0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 16, 24, 34, 46, 60", and there
are no results.
