Neil:
Hope this finds you well. A reader of mine sent me the following sequence
and swears there are enough terms in it to find the next number/s:
0,0, 6,42,156 . . .
He goes on to say that the first zero is the " zeroth " term, the second
zero, of course, is the first term. I'm usually pretty good at cracking these
and unless he has made a mistake in presentation, I don't have a clue as
to what this sequence is. I did find one sequence in your Encyclopedia that
begins 6,42, 156 . . but I'm not sure if that is applicable here. Any
guesses?
any ideas? - neil
