# Sorry,
it had an < sign

# Thought so. Damn chevrons.
And I stopped complex mathematical stuff at A level maths.

So this just confuses me to where the i comes from. Isn't i the root of -2?

# i is just an index.
but the answer, for n = (3, 4, 5) is (84, 3060, 324632). I wish I had the maths to provide a general formula :(

# I see.
Interesting.

# ha! :) I expect that was typed with a straight face like this, :|
even more interesting is that a subset of the sequences in X can produce another set of sequences B, where each bi in B is just the binary representation of xi with length n (left-padded with 0s).

Arranged into a square, these sequences in B form n by n matrices that are the adjacency matrix of a graph, and the set of graphs so produced are non-isomorphic.

Which is pretty cool, I think.

# This both confuses and interests me.
Is it similar to the Mandelbrot set?

# :) no, not at all. or, I should say, "not as far as I know", which isn't very far, when it comes to maths.
