Reasoning
- If a sequence of 3, then the smallest the base of the sequence, b, must be b+(b+1)+(b+2) +1+1+1+1 <= 13. Thus, 3*b+7 <= 13. b <= 2. If it's a 4-sequence, then we have b+(b+1)+(b+2)+(b+3)+1+1+1 <= 13. 4*b+9 <= 13. b <= 1.
- DANDIES=13. Speculate:
- Assume that we have a 4-sequence.
- Assume that the sequence is first. Then D1=1,A1=2,N1=3,D2=4,I1=1,E1=1,S1=1.
- Apply this information to PRAISED=13.
- If D=D2, then the sequence must end there, and we must have 1+1+1+1+2+3+4. Giving us P1=1,R1=1,A2=1,S2=2,E2=3.
- Assume that we have a 4-sequence.
