If you like that, you might like this challenge codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/214638/53884 based on OEIS sequence oeis.org/A337517 (the number of distinct resistances that can be produced from a circuit with exactly n unit resistors.)
Total resistance from unit resistors
This problem is based on, A337517, the most recent OEIS sequence with the keyword "nice". \$a(n)\$ is the number of distinct resistances that can be produced from a circuit with exactly ...

Oh awesome! Might try my hand. I used some of the code from oeis.org/A048211 which is slightly different. Actually a(5) is the first different number, so I wonder what the unique circuit with 5 resistors that obtains a new value (not obtainable by series and parallel circuits) looks like.

I used slow mathematica code, you have to go to 14 resistors before you can do better than 22/7. I basically just check N cases where N is taken from oeis.org/A000084

Oh, did someone mention Valheim? I can be normal about Valheim. I'm being normal about Valheim right now.

I bring a "I count as 0 views" vibe to the stream that some stream metrics don't appreciate.

Could you pick me up ten... No, twenty kg of granola. I beg of you.

Plain text equations and mathematica notebook crap, in case anyone wants to copy and paste or use it for future reference. My work is not very readable lol.

Maybe a bit ambitious before bed... Still work to be done to get it in terms of a strict quadratic programming problem (remove the "forall"). But this is what it looks like in terms of a_3, b_3, pretty ugly. On the wiki for quadratic programming, this gives Q and c but not sufficient A or b.

Oh yeah this can nerd snipe me, I'll try my hand!
