1,5,17,48,122... what is the next number?
>>
who knows
>>
290
>>
Any fucking number you want. Literally any number.
Kill yourself.
>>
>>8161457
p-pi?
>>
ITT people can't find rule
>mad
>>
365
>>
After 290 comes 659
>>
>>8161513
After 290 comes 291, fucking retard
>>
>>8161560
I keked
>>
>>8161492
This.
You could just say the pattern is the zeroes of (x-1)(x-5)(x-17)(x-48)(x-122)(x-n) with n being the desired next number
>>
>>8161784
Nope

Here's a clue.

Think about Fibonacci sequences.

This.
Underconstrained problems are daily threads woo.

[math]p(x)=-\frac{3313}{1440}x^5+\frac{3365}{96}x^4-\frac{57353}{288}x^3+\frac{50843}{96}x^2-\frac{464621}{720}x+\frac{3397}{12}[/math]
p(0)=1
p(1)=5
p(2)=17
and so on
>>
>>8161457
348
>>
>>8162362
No, you're wrong.
>>
>>8162378
it's 651
>>
>>8162362
He literally just showed you how it could be any number at all. Mcfucking kill yourself dude
>>
>>8162375

This is the right answer.
>>
>>8161492
What kind of brainlet would be averse to pattern recognition? Of course it can be anything, but what's the simplest pattern?
>>
>>8161478
I get 289
>>
>>8162375
3397/12 != 1
obvious bait
>>
>>8162375
>p(1)=1
>p(2)=5
>p(3)=17
fixed
>>
>>8162755
"Simplest" is subjective, you fucking brainlet.
>>
>>8162820
Not really, we all have a similar vague idea what it means.
>>
It'll be 1 again. The sequence repeats after 122. Prove me wrong
>>
>>8162865
I find a simpler sequence to have the least unique numbers, therefore >>8163080 is the simplest sequence to me.
>>
266 given the input examples
>>
>>8163110
You're being disingenuous.
>>
>>8163287
I find 0.111111... repeating simpler than pi for the same reason. What is hard to believe about finding this sequence to be the simplest?
>>
>>8161457
If this is continuous, it's definitely an exponential sequence.
Some form of a*2^x+b
>>
>>8162375
How did you get to that solution?
>>
>>8163400
he's OP

and he's a fag
>>
>>8161457
Look up Lagrange interpolation.
