After I had the two solutions I did not go back to check it.

Yes, I did run it.

#402 Re: Exercises » Bitter snails » 2014-09-22 02:22:00

I had nothing to check it against. I did not have another solution.

The recurrence is not hard at all.

You look at what happens when you bring in another snail. You can either put it in a group with other snails or put it in a group of its own.

#403 Re: Exercises » Bitter snails » 2014-09-22 02:09:26

Correct it? Why?

Why do you not understand the recurrence?

#404 Re: Exercises » Bitter snails » 2014-09-22 02:01:55

So, an answer in form of a recurrence?

#405 Re: Exercises » Bitter snails » 2014-09-22 01:55:00

Hm, I had that GF at one point, but was not sure if it would work.

What is a gAr type answer?

Hi Agnisjom

I do not know what the answer is, but that one is not correct.

Well, I derived it from a double recurrence:

where

is the number of ways to cover a 3xn board and
is the number of ways to cover a 3xn board with one more square appended.

I thought there might be, but I was too lazy to try and find them.

It would be interesting to do this for larger tables (4xn, 5xn,...).

I am getting the same number as bobbym.

The recurrence is:

Hi okouhlani

Well, pure blue would be 0x0000FF. My favourite would be 0x000000.

Hi bobbym

There is difference between carrots and carrot juice.

Hi okouhlani

Welcome to the forum! smile

What is your favourite colour?

Hi Agnishom

Are you getting it to work?

#419 Re: Help Me ! » Permutation Problems » 2014-09-18 06:39:45

I asked Agnishom. I am getting the correct result from the one in post #55.

#422 Re: Help Me ! » Generating Functions Problems » 2014-09-18 00:54:55

Sorry, I should read more carefully. It asked for the sum.

#423 Re: Help Me ! » Generating Functions Problems » 2014-09-18 00:02:50

Hi pokemonmaster101

Welcome to the forum! smile

What's your favourite colour?

Have you set up the GF for the first problem?

Hi bobbym

If your answer to question two is the same for both powers, that is not correct.

You can get those neat looking formulas using LaTeX.

To use it, you need the math tags:

You can click any formula to see how it was written. Also, there are a lot of them here

But, if we are looking at 3D space, spherical geometry wouldn't be placed on the surface of a sphere, but rather on the surface of a hypersphere. smile

Also, after your post I realised that I wanted to say "in polar coordinates". But this way it's more interesting.
