I "think" what he's trying to say is that he's trying to
create some type of "pattern recognition" algorithm.
I "think" his data is:
: A|B|C|D|E
1: 3|5|5|3|
2: 5|3|3|5|5
3: 3|5|5|3|3
4: 5|5|5|5|
5: 3|3|5|5|3

and I "think" he'd like to predict the next number(s) in the series.
(what he's calling "continuing")
But I don't understand his explanation and notations of:
> for 1st line 5 is continuing then 1:2 and 2:1
> for 2nd line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2
> for 3rd line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2
> for forth line 5 is continuing then 4:1
> for fifth line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2
>
> and range and number  is changable,varied.
>
> i'd like to get result like below,
>
> 1:5
> 2:7
> 3:
> 4:1

So... I may be completely off-target.
