1,1
1,2,1
1,3,2,3,1
1,4,3,2,3,4,1
1,5,4,3,5,2,5,3,4,5,1
1,6,5,4,3,5,2,5,3,4,5,6,1
What are the next several lines and how are they formed?
Do the sequences have any special feature?
Does the pattern continue indefinitely?
(In reply to
Spoiler by Tristan)
This certainly seems to work. I assume by the wording of Tristan's explanation, that the fraction sequence should actually look like:
0/1, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 1/1
(lowest to highest in numerical value)
The fact that the sequence is therefore palindromic is not by construction, but falls out of the math.
