The “Chupacabra-A” Integer Sequence
May 29, 2019
The first in a series of utterly useless sequences. Start at 0 (zero) and add the number of characters in each integer as it's spelled in English. Ex: “twenty-one” has 10 characters, so 21+10=31.
0, 4, 8, 13, 21, 31, 41, 50, 55, 65, 75, 87, 99...
The “Chupacabra-B” Integer Sequence
June 10, 2019
Another utterly useless thing in the “Chupacabra” sequence world. Start at zero (0) and add the number of syllables in the previous number as it's spoken in English. Ex: “twenty-two” has 3 syllables, so 22+3=25. In the case of “one hundred and...” the “and” is included as a syllable, so “one hundred and one” has 5 syllables, so 101+5=106.
0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 41, 44, 47, 51, 54, 57, 61, 64, 67, 71, 75, 79, 83, 86, 89, 92, 95, 98, 101, 106, 111, 118, 124, 131, 138, 145, 152, 159, 166, 173, 181, 188, 195, 202, 207, 213, 219, 225...
The “Chupacabra-C” Integer Sequence
June 11, 2019
This one isn't merely useless, it's downright aggravating.
Where the position of each value is called “p,” so that the first number in the sequence is p=1, the second number in the sequence is p=2, etc..... The value of each integer is it's p value added to the previous value concatenated with it's p value at the beginning.
0, 12, 215, 3219, 43224, 543230, 6543237, 76543245, 876543254, 9876543264, 109876543275, 11109876543287, 1211109876543300...
