Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given n = 3, calculate the exact number of valid sequences and explain your methodology.

💡 Hint: Break down into steps—first count all, then reflect negative sequences.

Challenge 2 Hard

If you were to find patterns among valid sequences, describe the fundamental properties that emerge when using reflective methods.

💡 Hint: Consider how alterations in each step lead to consistent patterns in counts.
