== Issue in Pancake Numbers ==
Hi, your proposed solution in Phix for [[Pancake numbers]] appears to be wrong. It lists p(19) as 21, whereas A058986 lists it as 22. Worse yet, it seems every single solution on this page is just a translation of your algorithm.
I question this algorithm as a solution to begin with. It’s just a sequence of numbers that *happen* to agree with the first 19 known solutions. But there’s no much value here as an exercise for RC, as opposed to, say, exhaustive search for the solutions.
 
Can you give your feedback on [[Talk:Pancake numbers]]. I’d be tempted to just purge the page of any non actual solutions. [[User:Monarchdodra|Monarchdodra]] ([[User talk:Monarchdodra|talk]]) 13:01, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
