    Thumbs up

    Right!!! That was clever!

    It's amazing that sometimes you start thinking of complicated schemes and math formulas and get all stuck with that without realizing the simple way around... as it did happen to me when I came across it.

    1,1,1,2,2,1

    Part 1: How many consecutive repeating integers start the string, and what integer is it?

    There are 3, and it is 1.

    So Far, the answer is 3,1

    Part2: How many consecutive repeating integers come next, and what integer is it?

    There are 2, and it is 2.

    So Far, the answer is 3,1, 2, 2

    Part2: How many consecutive repeating integers finish the string, and what integer is it?

    There is 1, and it is 1.

    Thus the answer is 3,1,2,2,1,1
