I'm thinking of becoming a Haruhi fan. Does this basically mean it's like Black Mirror or the Twilight Zone?
Haven't watched either (though Black Mirror is still in my backlog) but as far as I know the Black Mirror episodes are standalone, while Haruhi has an order (there is even a chronological order) one way or another.
I can fully recommend being a fan.
Somehow I knew it was haruhi
It says in the article that i can't be done on a computer. Probably more likely that no one has gone to the trouble of implementing said function. The hard part is how do you verify it if no one has done n=6 or 7 to compare against. The min for n=5 was 152 and max is 154 with it being 153. Not really large enough to verify against.
No, the function is exponential so it would very quickly reach the bounds of modern computing limitations. The best analogy I can think of is folding a sheet of paper. With each fold the thickness doubles and it quickly becomes impossible to fold more than about 7 times. Now remember that this function doesn't just double, it grows by many magnitudes each time.
I can understand that. If we had values up to 7 or 8 identified exactly it may be possible to develop an equation for beyond, though. The smaller units are just too little for that though.
