Question 1

What defines a strictly increasing sequence?

Each number is greater than the last
Each number is less than the last
Numbers can repeat

💡 Hint: Think about how numbers compare to each other.

Question 2

True or False: In every set of n + 1 distinct real numbers, there must be a strictly increasing subsequence of length n + 1.

True
False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the properties of increasing subsequences.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Using 9 distinct integers from 1 to 20, demonstrate through a sequence how the pigeonhole principle ensures either an increasing or decreasing subsequence of length 5.

💡 Hint: Look for how many distinct lengths can be achieved and overlap them.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given the sequence of prime numbers up to 30, find a subsequence of at least 4 numbers that is strictly increasing and explain your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Remember that primes inherently don't repeat, aiding your subsequence choice.
