Word Pattern
Perform the following steps:
· Pick a positive integer, any positive integer at
all.
· Write out the number in English.
· Count the number of letters in that word. The
number of letters is now your new number.
· Write out your new number in English, and count the
number of letters.
· Repeat until it feels … um, well … repetitive.
When you can’t go any
further, what number are you at? And how can you be sure that you will always
end at this number, no matter what number you chose at the beginning?
