Set up a table with three columns, and see which combinations of r and s result in an odd integer for rs+r : r s rs+r O O E (OxO+O = O+O = E) O E O (OxE+O = E+O = O) E O E (ExO+E = E+E = E) We don't need to check r (E), s (E) combination, but if you want you can. So rs+r would be odd only when r is ...

3 , 0, 3, 12, 27, 48, 75 3*1, 3*0, 3*1, 3*4, 3*9, 3*16, 3*25 so basically our actual sequence is 1, 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 I want to carry on from here, and I really think you've done a very good job up to this point. If you look at the sequence 1, 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, you can see they're all perfect sq...

As I'm targeting the class starting 2010 fall, I'll have some time to address some of the issues you raised (except my age, which will get worse). your age may make things a bit more challenging at certain top schools.
