Internal & External (Posted on 2003-05-09) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Side-tracked from a slightly related problem, I derived this general set of attributes:

{8, 12n, 6n^2, n^2, n}.

The first 5 situations of this generalisation are:

[8, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[8, 12, 6, 1, 1],
[8, 24, 24, 4, 2],
[8, 36, 54, 9, 3],
[8, 48, 96, 16, 4].

What does this set of attributes describe?

(Attributes #1 & #4 may provide clues. Also, take note of the Title.)

(In reply to ok then..... by Lewis)

{ is a symbol holding a set in, or in this case, a related dunch of numbers or functions. ^ means to the power of, 3^2=9. As for the attributes discription, umm........ give a few years and I might have the start of a guess.
It might have to do with the volumes, areas, and edge length of an eight sided figure or something, but thats just me pulling stuff out of the blue.
