Problem
Lucius is counting backward by 
s. His first three numbers are 
, 
, and 
. What is his 
th number?
Solution 1
We plug 
and 
into the formula 
for the 
th term of an arithmetic sequence whose first term is 
and common difference is 
to get 
.
~Soupboy0
Solution 2
Since we want to find the 
th number Lucius says after he says , is subtracted from his number times, so our answer is 
~Sigmacuber
Solution 3
Using brute force and counting backward by s, we have 
.
Note that this solution is not practical and very time-consuming.
~codegirl2013, athreyay
Solution 4
This can be thought of as an arithmetic sequence. Knowing that our first term is , we have to add to get to our 0th term, 
. Our answer is then 
.
