Ok, for archbishopjabber's:
.0833~x^4-.1666~x^3+4.9166~x^2-13.833~x+10?

doing an n-1 order polynomial fit to a set of n points is hard and what the problem creator obviously intended

How the blazing daylights did you get all that from those numbers?

I typed them into my calculator and did a quartic regression.

Adding consecutive squares. 1+2^2=5, 5+3^2=14, 14+4^2=30, etc.

Win.

This one can't be continued.

10 in base 10-k.

My question remains delightfully unanswered.

Edit: Here's a fun one. I'll add a lot of terms so it's not impossible.

0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 6, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 6, 6, 1, 0, 16, 1, 18, 0, ...

Re: Patterns (For the math geeks)

I'm to tired to solve that right now, I will try it later. The solution to mine (since no one got it) was

|x^3 - x^2 - x|

| | means absolute value if you don't know...

Period of decimal representation of 1/n, or 0 if 1/n terminates.

Laaame.

Yep. Now come on, guys:

0, Infinity, 5, 6, 3, 3, 3, ...

I'll even give you the next few terms.

3, 3, 3, 3, ...

Is that even a real thing lol?

Re: Patterns (For the math geeks)

Well, it's what came up when I typed that sequence into The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.
