| Jun 7, 2010 at 13:54 | comment | added | Roland Bacher | Indeed, my computation leading to a 4 was based on a misunderstanding. | |
| Jun 7, 2010 at 12:04 | comment | added | Wadim Zudilin | Yes, that what I meant and already checked with the wiki page: "No digits other than 1, 2, and 3 appear in the sequence, unless the seed number contains such a digit or a run of more than three of the same digit." | |
| Jun 7, 2010 at 11:18 | comment | added | TonyK | @Roland, Wadim's point is that no number greater than 3 can occur in the example sequence. So the base is irrelevant. | |

| Jun 7, 2010 at 10:17 | comment | added | Roland Bacher | @Wadim, sorry, my question is of course related to the example and not to the title. And I guess that any number occurs eventually. | |

| Jun 7, 2010 at 8:41 | comment | added | Wadim Zudilin | @Roland, I wonder whether digits greater than 3 appear at all. (Or maybe I mix with another example. I am too lazy to continue.) | |
| Jun 7, 2010 at 7:59 | comment | added | Wadim Zudilin | Well, the title and your question don't fit quite well: do you like polynomials or the roots? In my response, I more worry about the polynomial, since the roots might be helpful but nobody will solve the algebraic relation. | |
| Jun 7, 2010 at 7:58 | comment | added | Roland Bacher | What happens in other bases? (I guess Conway did a general analysis and that one always gets polynomials with degree depending on the basis.) One could also look at more exotic number systems (eg. the "Fibonacci base" or the "factorial base"). | |
| Jun 7, 2010 at 7:56 | comment | added | I. J. Kennedy | OK, agreed. I converted to wiki. | |

| Jun 7, 2010 at 7:36 | comment | added | Wadim Zudilin | I would classify the question as wiki. Higher degree polynomials occur quite often; for example, see the comment of Jonas Meyer to mathoverflow.net/questions/21003. | |
