Linear congruence.

Related observation: There are 26 letters in the alphabet, and 15 posts per page.

The numbers 26 (2x13) and 15 (3x5) are coprime. It will take 26 pages of this thread to get through 15 cycles of the alphabet. But each of those 26 pages will start with a different letter - the sequence is apetixmbqfujyncrgvkzodshwl. This cycle will repeat for the next 26 pages etc.



in my opinion you have not done anything else than presume that the first letter of each new post begins with the next letter in the alphabet that the previous post started with.
that is obviously absurd.

to demonstrate that i know that you are simply printing every 15th letter of the alphabet in a closed circuit, i had to write a program because i could not be bothered (as you obviously could) to work it out on paper.

here is the simple program.
------------------------------------------
a=0
p=''"
for x = 1 to 390 step 15
b=mod(x,26)
if b = 0
b=26
endi
p=p+chr(b+64)
next
?p
__________________________________
p="APETIXMBQFUJYNCRGVKZODSHWL" is exactly how you said.

my result is "APETIXMBQFUJYNCRGVKAODSHWL" so maybe i am wrong.

whatever.

Zenith, a point from spherical geometry as applied in celestial navigation in which it is that directly above and passes through the geometric center of the sphere and is collinear with a third point, the nadir, which would be directly below.
