Here is a function: f(0) = 1 f(1) = 1 f(n) = f(n - f(n-1)) + f(n - f(n-2)), n > 1 It's easy to write a program to plot f(n) vs. n. The function's truly strange behavior may be easier to see if you plot f(n)-n/2 vs. n. You will want to look at the first several hundred values, at least.

Ooooooo, and just after that message by the nice man with the funny mouth :-}. I'm sorry, but the N.BSP (Net.Bizarre Secret Police) will have to pay you a visit. You may expect 200 penguins to hang-glide down to your house and spit on you. ( Mind you, I don't guarantee this will happen, but you can certainly expect it if you like!!! ) %-) ( consider this to be a bizarre smiley face) RD "fozz" Francis ..!cbosgd!osu-eddie!francis or francis@osu-eddie.UUCP P.S. Let's have a "Official Net. bizarre Smiley Face Contest!!!!"
