A221866 Maximum value achievable for n X n version of Le Monde grid problem, using the original rules. 1

%I #35 Feb 14 2015 21:41:56

%S 1,4,57,2473,349712

%N Maximum value achievable for n X n version of Le Monde grid problem, using the original rules.

%C From Christian Boyer, Apr 18 2013: (Start)

%C The beginning of this version of the game is different from that in A224784: now we start with 1's in two cells (not necessarily adjacent). After that the rules are the same: each new chosen cell is filled with the sum of the neighboring cells.

%C With these rules, the new maximum for 3 X 3 is no longer 44, but 57:

%C 1 2 1

%C 3 7 30

%C 10 20 57

%C a(1) is no longer defined, but we set it equal to 1. a(2) and a(4) are the same as in A224784, but a(5)-a(8) are different. (End)
