Re: Bafflers?

Hi bobbym

I managed to type it up on my phone, but I'm afraid that's all I can do for now except explain it a little latex-free.

Hi anonimnystefy;

I wish I could. They are very, very scarce. You learn them by trial and error and slowly.

Re: Bafflers?

Yes, but GF's are like everything else in mathematics, very iffy. The technique you used will not always work. Sometimes you can not get the recurrence or even a sequence of numbers.

Baffler #3

There are ten marbles in an urn. 3 red, 4 black and 3 blue. If the marbles are drawn from the urn and laid on a table in the order they were drawn what is the chance that all 3 types are together. Meaning the 3 reds are together, the 3 blue are together and the 4 blacks are together.

No questions on that one. The question is in the other thread concerning the supposed Tribonacci numbers.
