De Bruijn is supposed to be cyclic! AAACCCBCCACBBCBACABCAABBBABAA

Maybe, but practicality means it is far simpler and more efficient to repeat the end sequence than to wrap around.

    Maybe in this case, but check the length of his results, either way they are inconsistent and hence wrong.

      I've only had need to explore DeBruijn with a binary alphabet, so I'll defer to your judgement.

        Binary alphabet seems easy, a bit of searching produced a "prefer ones" algorithm.

        From SO

        > Prefer Ones is quite simple: Write n zeros. Then, always write a one unless it would cause the repetition of an n-length string; otherwise, write a zero.
