You can probably see all kinds of things to explore. Those of you
who are familiar with spreadsheets can extend the pattern further.
You would put 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, etc across the top
and then you have to add the first 1 with nothing/zero that's
beneath it to get the next line started. Let me show you clearly,
here's the first part of the spreadsheet I used:
So, row 2 is simply the numerals going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
Row 3; C3 is made from B3 + B2; D3 = C2 + C3 etc.[C3 = 1 + 0, D3 =
2 + 1 etc.]
Row 4, is made up in the same way so, D4= C3 + C4, etc.
So those formulae can be put in easily and then dragged through the
other cells.
BUT we are dealing with digital roots which the computer deals with
as MOD 9 [a kind of clock going from 1 to 9].
Let's have a look at the formulae that we need for the 4 cells in
row 3, they are as follows,
Once you have these you can drag the formulae through more cells to
the right and also down.
In this way you can extend the pattern as long as the spreadsheet
will allow.
Enjoy!
