August 2017 Fiendish Function
The Fiendish Function posed during August 2017 had the following sample guesses and replies:
- 1
- 2
- 2
- 12
- 3
- 14
- 4
- 104
- 5
- 106
- 10
- 1020
The rule was: "Write the number in binary, then add the original number".
Suppose the guess was 22:
- Write the number in binary, giving 10110.
- Add the original number, giving 10132.
So the result is 10132.
