turning the light on divisor chains
two similar art works based on the concept of divisor chains, a simple example to illustrate
start with a number, say 3. clearly 3 | 3 ( 3 divides 3 )
3, 1 is OK as 1 | (3+1) ;
3, 1, 2 is OK as 2 | (3+1+2) ;
3, 1, 2, 6 is OK as 6 | (3+1+2+6)
3, 1, 2, 6, 4 is OK as 4 | (3+1+2+6+4)
3, 1, 2, 6, 4, 8 is OK as 8 | (3+1+2+6+4+8)
the idea is to consider earliest ( smallest ) whole numbers not yet used
until we find a value is OK, satisfying the required property.
the sum is up to 24. at this stage, adding 5 isn't going to help, neither is adding 7, nor 9,
nor 10, nor 11, what about 12 ?
12 does the job nicely as 24 + 12 = 36 and 12 | (3+1+2+6+4+8+12)
the puzzle is to discover from the grouping and ordering of the coloured rectangles
what are the divisor chains represented from permutations of { 1, ..., n }
