Title: Only connect Post by: grahame on September 13, 2021, 23:18:13 Next in the sequence, and why? (One each please)
1. 1877, 1969, 1984, 1992 2. 05:33, 07:20, 07:52 3. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 4. New Brighton, Ellesmere Port, West Kirby 5. MPK, MSO, MTH, MOT, MTG 6. Campaigner, Ranger, Champion 7. Beef, Duck, Hake Title: Re: Only connect Post by: brooklea on September 14, 2021, 06:56:37 6. Fusilier; in numerical order, the name of the next surviving member of the Western Class locomotives.
D1010 Western Campaigner, D1013 Western Ranger, D1015 Western Champion, D1023 Western Fusilier Title: Re: Only connect Post by: PrestburyRoad on September 14, 2021, 08:21:02 3. 8; Fibonacci sequence - or maybe grahame wanted a different railway-related answer?
Title: Re: Only connect Post by: grahame on September 14, 2021, 08:27:51 3. 8; Fibonacci sequence - or maybe grahame wanted a different railway-related answer? You're correct ... I slipped just that one general sequence into the railway-specific ones. But I'm sure that someone will come up with a rail answer to! 6. Fusilier; in numerical order, the name of the next surviving member of the Western Class locomotives. D1010 Western Campaigner, D1013 Western Ranger, D1015 Western Champion, D1023 Western Fusilier Yes indeed. I was looking at a warship sequence too, but I don't think enough have been preserved. I wonder why - personally I found them more artistic looking that the westerns. Title: Re: Only connect Post by: grahame on September 14, 2021, 09:49:52 I thought there must be SOME link between trains and Fibonacci - and came across the following:
https://mast.queensu.ca/~math9-12/manual/TrainsManual.pdf Quote Counting Trains This is quite an interesting activity. In line with my big theme of par- allel structures, it presents the students with two worlds: The Fibonacci world. A sequence of integers generated with one of the simplest of all recursive generators: . This is an abstract world which contains many unexpected patterns, some of which we will encounter here. The trains world. A sequence of integers with a concrete realization (number of trains of a fixed length) giving us a powerful access to the surprising patterns of the Fibonacci world. In this unit the students are challenged to provide proofs for some of the well-known Fibonacci formulae by invoking properties of the structure of trains. Edit - rewritten part of my post which got lost in submission ...

Title: Re: Only connect Post by: grahame on September 14, 2021, 14:01:38 4 - Birkenhead (stations on the Wirral served by Northern Rail, but they don't seem to be in the right order?) Not Birkenhead - you're headed in the right direction, but the answer goes a little further. Title: Re: Only connect Post by: stuving on September 14, 2021, 14:04:44 4 - Birkenhead (stations on the Wirral served by Northern Rail, but they don't seem to be in the right order?) Not Birkenhead - you're headed in the right direction, but the answer goes a little further. Then is it Chester, as the fourth (and last) Merseyrail (Wirral Line) terminus? But I've no idea what the chosen order is about. PS: It's distance from Hamilton Square (or beyond), isn't it?

But I've no idea what the chosen order is about. PS: It's distance from Hamilton Square (or beyond), isn't it? It is indeed Chester ... and the order is the typical sequence of departures from Liverpool ... it's not 100% the same all the time, but once the other three have left it's pretty much certain the next one will be to Chester! Title: Re: Only connect Post by: Oxonhutch on September 14, 2021, 15:45:58 5: DBG - Mottisfont & Dunbridge - next station in alphabetical order
Title: Re: Only connect Post by: grahame on September 17, 2021, 08:33:51 4 sequences worked out, 3 to go. Anyone?
Next in the sequence, and why? (One each please) 1. 1877, 1969, 1984, 1992 2. 05:33, 07:20, 07:52 3. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 Fibonacci series - 8 is next (Prestbury Road) 4. New Brighton, Ellesmere Port, West Kirby Departures from Liverpool for the Wirral - Chester is next (Stuving) 5. MPK, MSO, MTH, MOT, MTG Station codes in alphabetic order of station names - DBG is next (Oxonhutch) 6. Campaigner, Ranger, Champion Surviving Westerns - Fusilier is next (Brooklea) 7. Beef, Duck, Hake Title: Re: Only connect Post by: Oxonhutch on September 17, 2021, 09:12:14 ... (One each please) Is this a continuous restriction, or does the 24 hour override apply? Title: Re: Only connect Post by: grahame on September 17, 2021, 09:19:15 ... (One each please) Is this a continuous restriction, or does the 24 hour override apply? The 24 hours override applies through grandfather rights ;D ... please do ahead and fill in the other(s) Title: Re: Only connect Post by: Oxonhutch on September 17, 2021, 09:28:19 1: 1994, the fourth derailment at Morpeth, Northumberland - 1992 was a collision between two trains.
Title: Re: Only connect Post by: brooklea on September 17, 2021, 09:32:13 2. 10:02 Northbound train departures from Melksham on a weekday (although this doesn’t quite fit as the sequence would be 05:33, 07:20, 07:51, 10:02)
Title: Re: Only connect Post by: brooklea on September 17, 2021, 09:54:25 4 sequences worked out, 3 to go. Anyone? Next in the sequence, and why? (One each please) 7. Beef, Duck, Hake I think bobm is your man for this one…. ;) Title: Re: Only connect Post by: grahame on September 19, 2021, 08:29:57 And the final answer is Aubergine
