So, unless I'm reading my Python code incorrectly, it would appear that
I'm not the only one that misinterpreted which sequence should be used
when making the comparision.
The results of the Python versions sent to this list match what my first
revision of the program output:
5 3 2 -4
not a match
2 1 2 4 7
not a match
-3 2 1 4 3 3 6
not a match
3 4 6 7 3 4 5 12 14 -4 -9 -18 5 22 41 43 29 17 -2 7 19 22 23 24
not a match
3 9
not a match
This is because the ``sequence'' was the original sequence of numbers,
not the sequence of numbers defined by { 1 ... n-1 }.
