Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If you have a sequence of strictly increasing integers from 1 to n, how many valid sequences can you construct where the second last number can't exceed n-1?

💡 Hint: Think about how many terms are available and apply your understanding of the sequence definitions.

Challenge 2 Hard

Using your knowledge of the relationship between f(n) for combinations with initial conditions, calculate values for n up to 5.

💡 Hint: Remember to build upon each previous result step-by-step.
