SERIES
(a) 359401
(b) 343 (7^3)
(c) 10101 (101st term)
(d) 249501 (500th term)
The nth term of the series is n^2 - n + 1.
Way to go Mark!!!
a) 600th member is 359401
b) 19th member is 343 = 7 cubed
c) 101st member is 10101 (palindrome, and as binary = 21(base 10)
d) 500th member is 249501 (and the 501st is 250501, which is 1000 greater)
You could generated the cubes > 1 and < 10000. Then generated the 600 members: each is greater than the previous by (member number - 1)*2.
(a) is given directly from the table, (b) compare the list of cubes with the generated members under 10000, (c) 5-digit binary numbers would have to begin and end with "1" with the middle three digits each being either "0" or "1" -- 10101 appears, (d) the gap between one member and the next is twice the sequence number of the first, and so members 500 and 501 are 1000 apart.

Well somebody wrote it, but I am not owning up.
A)
"Why is my thoh broken hearted?"

It sounds like you have your hands full! Are you talking; Political Correctness, or some Pornographic Content?
Aynhoo, how is your vacation going? You are so like; missed around here! Even the cleaner was asking after you, mind you I don't recall anyone else asking. The main thing is to have fun
:wink:
I will have a look at your specials Stormy; it's just kind of hard roping cattle, branding and puzzles. So I have decided to stay on Wall Street and do nothing but puzzles!
