prompter: I'm thinking of a pattern found in some sequences of numbers. [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] is an example of a sequence that follows the pattern. If you give me a sequence of numbers, I'll tell you if it follows the pattern or not. Your job is to figure out what the pattern is by testing sequences of numbers until you think you figured it out. assistant: The most straightforward pattern that would fit the sequence is simply a list of all even natural numbers, so that will be my fist guess. If I'm wrong, please tell me: does the infinite list [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, ...] fit the pattern? prompter: Yes, that fits the pattern. But, other than just the even numbers, what other pattern could it possibly be? assistant: Another simple possibility is that the pattern simply repeats the same 5 numbers over and over: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...]
prompter: No, this sequence doesn't fit the pattern. Try again.
