Puzzles and Predicaments

Postby Grams » Thu Nov 20, 2014 12:59 am

Might make this a weekly or biweekly deal depending on everyone's interest. Use whatever resources you have to solve the puzzle. Books, Google, dickslaps, etc. Whoever presents an accurate answer gets the honor of their name up here in whatever colors they choose. Hooray.
Also, if you have one that you'd like to submit, I'll put it up as long as it's solvable and give credits.

I have found a weird function that destroys the laws of recurrence.

Spoiler:
Code: Select all
A(x,y) =

y+1                   #if x = 0
A(x-1,1)              #if x > 0 and y = 0
A(x-1, A(x,y-1))      #if x > 0 and y > 0


A(0,0) = 1
A(1,0) = 2
A(2,0) = 3
A(3,0) = 5
A(4,0) = 13

what is A(5,0) ?


in others words, complete the list :
1, 2, 3, 5, 13, ?
