RU-ALLRUSSIAN 1963 Problem 13

  • Answer

We place labeled points on a circle as follows. At step 1, take two points at opposite ends of a diameter and label them both 1. At step n>1\mathrm{n} > 1 , place a point at the midpoint of each arc created at step n−1\mathrm{n} - 1 and label it with the sum of the labels at the two adjacent points. What is the total sum of the labels after step n\mathrm{n} ?

For example, after step 4 we have: 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 3, 4.
