  ...I just spent 1 hour or so on the sequence...and the following clue is the farthest I've got, the first parameter is the cumulative sum of the sequence, >>> log(1002, 10) 3.0008677215312267 >>> log(634, 9) 2.936454025222717 >>> log(409, 8) 2.89198567764725 >>> log(275, 7) 2.8864493565611764 >>> log(186, 6) 2.9165447502641713 >>> log(108, 5) 2.9091716996047423 >>> log(61, 4) 2.9653686687814433 >>> log(39, 3) 3.3347175194727923 >>> log(18, 2) 4.169925001442312 EDIT: yes, I saw that "read more" at first...I did not want to spoil the puzzle so I tried to solve it on my own for a while but then realized I might have to spend more than 1 hour on this thing -- and at this point I totally forgot there is a spoiler there...

    Why not just fit a 10th-degree polynomial?

      that would be a good universal solution -- it's just that would be too fast and too assuring to get the most fun out of the puzzle...
