add together the digits until you get a 1-digit number. Take two to the power of the result.
If the number is already in the sequence, add 1 until you get a new one.

The problem with this thread is that you get a lot of sequences like 6,6,3,3,8,3,5,5, and no one's going to guess that it's "every other digit of 6√131".

for some reason "the absolute value of the difference between the last entry and the sum of all the entries up to and including the last entry" just ends up generating fibonacci's sequence:

Moosey's sequence is 2p-3 where p is the nth prime, so it goes:

Code: Select all

1,3,7,11,19,23,31,35,43,55,etc
Since we obviously need more sequences, here are some more which should be guessable (despite similarities, on the surface they are not related):

Code: Select all
