I’d like to ask the good people of this community that, if you do know the solution or figure it out, that you not share the answer here. Feel free to announce your success, but there’s something to be said for discovering the answer completely unaided, even if it takes years.

It’s embarrassingly obvious once you see it though.

    Seems you can’t have a series that ends in anything but 1, if it starts from 1?

    2
    12
    1112
    3112
    132112
    1113122112
    311311222112
    13211321322112
    1113122113121113222112

    I wonder if this type of series would eventually become repeating… or is it irrational?

    Still curious what the mathematical proof would look like. Not that I’d be able to understand it regardless, but curious nonetheless
