Problem of the Week

for Monday, December 14, 2009

The sequence 1,2,1,0 is called an "autobiographical" sequence because its first digit tells you how many zeros are in the sequence, the next digit counts the number of ones, and so on. (specifically, the digit sequence 1,2,1,0 contains 1 zero, 2 ones, 1 two, and no threes.) It turns out that there are many such sequences. How many can you find?
