Hi Howardroark;

That is correct, very good!

Re: What do you think?

Start by drawing a circle. On the circle place the numbers 1,2,3,4. Now take the spaces between the numbers and add the numbers on either side of the space. You should get the new list {1,3,2,5,3,7,4,5}. Place them on the circle and repeat the process  until there are 2^16 numbers. What is the sum of the 2^16 numbers? What is the largest number?

Re: What do you think?

Hi bobbym,

Thank you for all the beautiful questions. Solutions are nothing compared to it !

But why don't you sleep well? Do you love math so much that you can't sleep ?!
Or is there another bobbym?

What extra edge? The ability to make more mistakes per hour than anyone else?

Re: What do you think?

I feel groggy if I sleep too much. Sometimes I can go on a lot less. Sleep is boring, math is exciting.
