Fairshare between two and more
The Thue-Morse sequence is a sequnce of ones and zeros that if two people take turns in the given order, the first persons turn for every '0' in the sequence, the second for every '1'; then this is shown to give a fairer, more equitable sharing of resources. (Football penalty shoot-outs for example, might not favour the team that goes first as much if the penalty takers take turns according to the Thue-Morse sequence and took 2^n penalties)
The Thue-Morse sequence of ones-and-zeroes can be generated by:
- "When counting in binary, the digit sum modulo 2 is the Thue-Morse sequence"
- Sharing fairly between two or more
Use this method:
- When counting base b, the digit sum modulo b is the Thue-Morse sequence of fairer sharing between b people.
- Task
Counting from zero; using a function/method/routine to express an integer count in base b, Sum the digits modulo b to produce the next member of the Thue-Morse fairshare series for b people.
Show the first 25 terms of the fairshare sequence
- For two people
- For three people
- For five people
- For eleven people
