No - you are not working in numerical order i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc

Well done Rob ... but the point for future adventures, you need to strip out the counting numbers ie 1, 2, 3, 4, etc to get the Type B class answer.
That is 32311
So we now have type A 2321
and Type B 32311
No would it not be interesting to repeat what we did when we ended up with the answer 2321 for Type A???
Cries of "YES, YES" off stage right.
So lets start with the end result of Type B and see what happens
32311
211223
etc etc
What happens... have a guess before you start - more fun that way. |

My mistake on the 5th line threw it all out of kilter. Had to do it again. There were 23 iterations before it repeats. I think. I have them written down, but can't be bothered typing them all in! |
