I’d like to ask the good people of this community that, if you do know the solution or figure it out, that you not share the answer here. Feel free to announce your success, but there’s something to be said for discovering the answer completely unaided, even if it takes years.
It’s embarrassingly obvious once you see it though.
Think about it.
To get a 4, you need either 1111, which can’t happen because thats just 21, or you have 211112, which would again just be 31.
Seems you can’t have a series that ends in anything but 1, if it starts from 1?

I wonder if this type of series would eventually become repeating… or is it irrational?
Still curious what the mathematical proof would look like. Not that I’d be able to understand it regardless, but curious nonetheless
