Our work with <strong>the</strong> long runs <strong>of</strong> consecutive integers in Chapter 5 also has<br />
room for research expansion. Do arbitrarily long runs actually exist? Can we<br />
make <strong>the</strong>m from any starting parity sequence? Are <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> positive<br />
integers in a run? Is <strong>the</strong>re any way for us to predict where a run will occur? These<br />
ideas, again, also provide areas for exploration.<br />
As you can see, <strong>the</strong>re are still so many questions left to answer in regards to<br />
this problem. We have only just touched <strong>the</strong> surface <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work to be done and<br />
<strong>the</strong> results that will come from our attempts to solve this intriguing conjecture.<br />
