Alphabet Repeat Pattern Poser (Posted on 2010-10-18) Difficulty: 2 of 5
The string abbcccddddeeeee.... continuously repeats - with a repeating once, b repeating twice and so on, such that after the final z, the letters abbcccddddeeeee.... begin again.

What will be the 2010th letter in the above pattern?

As a bonus, what will be the 2010th letter in the above pattern, if instead - after the final z, the next a repeats 27 times, then b repeats 28 times and so forth?
