Here is my reply:
1. i will use the b-file
2. we don't need the gif since the graph button will use the b-file
3. the definition of the sequence is
a(n) is k such that k*(2n+1) mod 1000 = 123, or 2n+1 if no such k exists.
Now there is rule that a sequence should not depend on an arbitrary
parameter. Here we have two of them. Why not:
a(n) is k such that k*(2n+1) mod 44445555 = 321345, or 2n+1 if no such k exists. ?
4. the sequence is not finite (a(1000) = 123)
5. although i know you are a nice guy, i do not think this sequence is nice.
Best regards
Neil
