If you can’t solve this, you have to go back

I never bothered to watch in anything other than chronological order.

I don't do math. I'm really more of a right-brained guy.

I’m pretty sure this is some unsolved math problem but I don’t understand why it isn’t 14*13*...2*1.

because you can do better by overlapping sequences, but there's no solved algorithm for determining the best overlap sequence.
watching 1..14 then 2..14 means you also watched 14..1..13 so you dont have to do that one again

the lower bound is currently at least 93,884,313,611, and the upper bound is at most 93,924,230,411.

14.
You'll have to watch some of them multiple times, of course, but the question didn't ask how many times; just how many episodes.

>> No.16883157

>>16880546
Good answer, but wrong.
>>16881707
Better answer, but (I think) still wrong.

If each screening of an episode counts as an "episode" (otherwise the answer is 14) and the count doesn't reset when you see an episode out of order (otherwise the answer is somewhere between 13! and 14!) then by screening the series 14 times, you have shown the episodes in every order possible.

However, you can do better.
If, after showing them in order, you show them in reverse order, you don't need to show the last one twice. Then if you subsequently screen them in forward order, you don't need to show the first one twice, and so on.

So the answer is 14*13+1 = 183

>> No.16883188

>>16882938
Depends OM how you are defining episodes. Do they mean how many unique episodes you need to watch? Or does each repeated viewing count as an episode?

>> No.16883307
