Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have a sequence defined recursively. If s(1) = 1, s(2) = 1, and s(n) = s(n-1) + s(n-2) for n > 2, what is s(5)?

💡 Hint: Work backwards from the values you know.

Question 2

Create a sequence ending with '5' and starting with '1', listing all the valid strictly increasing sequences.

💡 Hint: Count valid combinations based on the defined rules.
