Sequence with only 3 numbers (Posted on 2009-03-07) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Trying to define a way to generate the terms of a sequence, and starting with the number 5, I found, surprisingly, that the way I used generated this sequence:

5, 8, 11, 5, 8, 11, 5, 8, 11, ...

And these 3 numbers repeat in this order indefinitely.

Define a simple way to generate this sequence.

How to solve it recursively? | Comment 5 of 11 |
For example, if you are only given the previous term.

(An easy way to solve using previous two terms is 24-a-b)
