Pattern

By GummyBear's request

He wants you to try and find all patterns that you see in this sequence:
48, 38, 33, 30, 28.

The only thing I see is the difference is divided by two, then rounded, so 10, 5, 3 (2.5), 2 (1.5)...then the rest would be 1's.

48 - 38 = 10
38 - 33 = 5
33 - 30 = 3
30 - 28 = 2

Decreasing rational function:

(78 + 18 * x)/(1 + x)

Code:

int i = 48, j = 38, k = 10;
System.out.println(i);
while {
  k = (int)((i - j) / 2 + .6);
  i -= (i - j);
  j -= k;
  System.out.println(i);
}

Decreasing rational function:

(78 + 18 * x)/(1 + x)

Why not start x at 2 and use (60+18x)/x -> 18 + 60/x?

Taking into account the player as a target that makes it x=#targets(incl. players) -> 18+60/x per monster

Stereo, you somehow didn't notice that I gave absolutely no context in this thread I just wanted to see what people could come up with.

Add all the digits up. If it still isn't a single-digit number, do it again.

48, 38, 33, 30, 28
12, 11, 6, 3, 10
3, 2, 6, 3, 1

If we took 33 out as an anomaly, the rest of the numbers would be factors of the original numbers.

Why not start x at 2 and use (60+18x)/x -> 18 + 60/x?

Taking into account the player as a target that makes it x=#targets(incl. players) -> 18+60/x per monster

Then we should have 78 first in the sequence :x

but sure:
x = 0 = first element
(96 + 18 * x)/(2 + x)

x = 2 = first element
18 + 60 / x

x = 3 = first element
(42 + 18x) / (x - 1)
or (18x^2 + 60x + 42)/(x^2-1), though that looks rather horrible

The pattern I see?:f6:

#(punctuation mark)-#(punctuation mark)-#(punctuation mark)-#(punctuation mark)-#(punctuation mark)
Liberal Arts Major FTW!

Then we should have 78 first in the sequence :x

It's percentage damage for Heal depending how many monsters it hits, it always targets the player first so the first number is index 2 if you go by #targets.
