At time step 1, our robot observes that the machine outputs "1." At time step 2, our robot observes that the machine outputs "2." We might now want our robot to "see the pattern," and guess that the machine is about to output 3.

At this stage, if I had to guess, I'd guess that the next output would be '4', doubling every time.

That's a good one too. Or " 121212" or "12222222". But not so much "1,2,sofa".
