The 'Lenny Conundrum' authors, in Round 231, wrote:What is the 20th number in this sequence? 896, 3687, 749, 34448, 836, ...
Looking at a phone's keypad, we have:
. . . . .2 = A, B, or C
. . . . .3 = D, E, or F
. . . . .4 = G, H, or I
. . . . .5 = J, K, or L
. . . . .6 = M, N, or O
. . . . .7 = P, Q, R, or S
. . . . .8 = T, U, or V
. . . . .9 = W, X, Y, or Z
Then "896" gives us:
. . . . .[T]
[V]
. . . . .[W][X][Y][Z]
. . . . .[M][N][O]
Note that, be selecting the correct letter for each option, we can spel [T][W][O], or "two".
Continuing, "3687" gives us:
. . . . .[D][E][F]
. . . . .[M][N][O]
. . . . .[T][V]
. . . . .[P][Q][R][S]
...from which can be spelled "four".
In like manner, "749" can spell "six", "34448" can spell "eight", and "836" can spell "ten". The pattern, thus far, appears to be:
. . . . .For n = 1, the term is the "spelling" of 2(1): "two"
. . . . .For n = 2, the term is the "spelling" of 2(2): "four"
. . . . .For n = 3, the term is the "spelling" of 2(3): "six"
. . . . .For n = 4, the term is the "spelling" of 2(4): "eight"
. . . . .For n = 5, the term is the "spelling" of 2(5): "ten"
Assuming this pattern holds, the n-th number being spelled will be the alphabetic form of "2n". For n = 20, 2n = 2(20) = 40, which is spelled "forty". From the keypad, we get the numbers 36789.
