|
| Now
add together the last
two digits
and write the sum in the next box. If the sum is
greater than 9, add together the sum's digits to
form a new single digit. Here are two examples: |
a)
1951: 5 + 1 = 6

|
| Again
add together the last
two digits in the
sequence, and write the sum in the next box
(adding together the two digits if the sum is
greater than 9). Continue this procedure of
summing the last two digits until you have filled
in all the boxes. |
