unusual sequence
A friend gave this to me in reply to a friend giving it to her.
Neither of us have any idea of what is going on in the sequence. 11, 11, 12, 13, 21, 21, 23, 23, 25, 29, 29, 31, 32, 31, 32, 35, 38, 37... Any ideas? Please? |

unary ... #s are represented by all 1s except for 0 i.e. 2=11, 3=111, 5=11111, 0=0, 1=1 Last fiddled with by tom11784 on 2004-05-20 at 02:02 |

Maybe remainders of modulo of a very special number for successive primes?
