Original question and givens

Use order2 coefficients=[1, 3] oldest-to-newest, constant=2, known a_0=6, alternative a_1=7 or 8, target_n=6. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary).

  • G001 — Use order2 coefficients=[1, 3] oldest-to-newest, constant=2, known a_0=6, alternative a_1=7 or 8, target_n=6. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Before

ORIGINAL only known a_0=6;different completions a_1=7 and8;target=6

After

WHOLE prefixes including initials differ=Yes;actual targets=[3486, 3846] MAY coincide;one_initial_uniqueness_claim fixed No

Conditions: none

The prefixes already differ at a1,so the complete prefix is not unique;the target values need not remain different.The final No withholds order2 uniqueness from one initial,without negating prefixes_differ.
