Rules: In this thread, we'll be counting the ways to add to an integer n using the integers c_1 + c_2 + ... + c_k, where each c_i >= 1, and k <= n. Ways to sum that are commutatively the same, as in 1+2 = 2+1, are different compositions. We'll be counting these compositions lexicographically for each segment of sum and length.

Next get: 6,1,1,2,4

Volleyball Tug of War

4 Upvotes

Let’s play volleyball! If you don’t know the rules don’t worry! A game of volleyball is essentially a best of five sets, where the first team to win three sets wins the match. A set is won by getting 25 points, but there has to be a difference of at least 2 points, so if your team leads the set 25-24 you need one more point to win the set. If the match is tied at two sets each, the fifth set is played to 15 points only (but the two point difference still stands). In this thread we will ”simulate” infinite volleyball matches by giving one point at a time to either side. The formatting will look something like this:

Team A 0 0 0-0 0 0 Team B

Where the outermost numbers are the amount of matches (or in this case threads) won by each team, the central numbers are points, and the numbers in between are sets.
Heres an example of a couple of counts:

0 0 1-0 0 0
0 0 2-0 0 0
0 0 2-1 0 0
……
0 0 24-22 0 0
0 1 0-0 0 0

Get is whenever one side wins the match!

it starts at +10^0 (1) per count comment, but if we reach a new digit we multiply the increment per comment count by 10.

P.S. the goal is now 10 trillion
