The thing at the bottom.. if the first number 11, and for example: the green number 1 tells us how far to go, we just check at the bottom thinghy how far 1 is which is 1.5 centimetres.. then we search for a way that's 1.5 centrimetres and walk 1 time.

Do you understand? :P

Haha.. random 10 digit numbers never work I guess, and I who thought that I found such a nice sequence
 
  • #2,908
Zarii, two more hours, and a bit of traffic left to go.. but when I get home, you'll most likely be heading to bed. Usually at night, only me and Iggy are left.

I'm still not having any ideas on this thing. Then again, it's math.. so, I'm braindead for these types. x.x
 
  • #2,909
Well, I'm not on to anything yet.. but my math skills are far from complete to..
