add together the digits until you get a 1-digit number. Take two to the power of the result.
If the number is already in the sequence, add 1 until you get a new one.

The problem with this thread is that you get a lot of sequences like 6,6,3,3,8,3,5,5, and no one's going to guess that it's "every other digit of 6√131".

Hint: Every term of this sequence is based solely on the previous one. The rule is not particular to the sequence beginning with 1; it can also begin with any other nonnegative integer. Some numbers, including the number 298, are "gardens of Eden" -- no number leads to them.

Moosey's sequence is 2p-3 where p is the nth prime, so it goes:

Code: Select all

1,3,7,11,19,23,31,35,43,55,etc
Since we obviously need more sequences, here are some more which should be guessable (despite similarities, on the surface they are not related):
