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.)

Question Question about question | Comment 5 of 16 |
If two points are 0 apart from eachother, doesn't it mean they are the same point? If you used distance formula and it came out 0, it would mean they were the same point. So wouldn't the first set be {1, 0, 0, 0, 0} since all the verices are the same point?
