Perl 6 count of how many turns each person gets
Whilst important to some degree, the sequence minimises any advantage that going first/going earlier might give. I've blogged twice, here, and here about it and the sequence appears many times in science and maths. (Try this paper (PDF), for example. --Paddy3118 (talk) 23:54, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
