| four is cosmic |
1 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is cosmic.
8 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is cosmic.
2 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is cosmic.
15 is 7, 7 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is cosmic
9 is 4 and 4 is cosmic.
18 is 8, 8 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is cosmic.
17 is 9, 9 is 4, and 4 is cosmic.
100 is 10, 10 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is cosmic.
If you think you recognize the pattern, submit an example. If you need more examples, I can give you more.
Solution:
one is 3, three is 5, five is 4, and 4 is cosmic. The number of letters in each number leads to the next number in the sequence - one has 3 letters, three has 5 letters, five has 4 letters. Four is cosmic because its value equals its number of letters. I'm pretty sure it's the only number with this property.

ReplyDelete323 is 23, 23 is 11, 11 is 6, 6 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4 and 4 is cosmic. 323 is the lowest number with a six-step path to cosmicity. (Yes cosmicity) The lowest number with a seven-step path is over 10^30. So if you want to put money on this game, it's reasonably safe to bet that any number given can become cosmic in less than six steps.
