We told you guys; it’s fun! Though I’m not positive the answer shouldn’t have been 91 instead… to v through. `~>perl6 > $n = 13 13 > say [+] ^$n 78` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Though I’m not positive the answer shouldn’t have been 91 instead ^$n means 0 .. $n - 1; so try: `say [+] ^$n+1;` [download] Not sure about precedence, so it might need brackets. Or maybe: `say [+] ^++$n;` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

More fun! Thanks. Parens work. Probably another way that I don’t know too. `> say [+] ^1+$n 14 > say [+] ^++$n+1 15 > say [+] ^($n+1) 91 > say [+] ^++$n 105 > say [+] ^$n++ 105` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I read "to" in the OP as TO, not UPTO AND INCLUDING. The OP also did not specify what language to give the solution in, hence the short perl6. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]
