Beatty sequence another example, for "r" = , we have "s" = 2 + . In this case, the sequences are And for "r" = π and "s" = π/(π - 1) the sequences are Notice that any number in the first sequence is lacking in the second, and vice versa.

It is probably one of the most often cited problems ever posed in the "Monthly". However, even earlier, in 1894 such sequences were briefly mentioned by John W. Strutt (3rd Baron Rayleigh)
