Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If you have S(5), how would you compute it based on previous terms? Show your work.

💡 Hint: Ensure you keep track of how categories previously derived affect your counts.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how modifying the sequence rules can affect S(n). Provide a hypothetical situation.

💡 Hint: Think about what these changes might do to valid selections.
