-A **de Bruijn Sequence** can be used to build a "private **bitScanForward** routine, and to get the LSB (Last Significant Bit).
+A **de Bruijn Sequence** represents all possible sequences of a given length in a way that is as __compressed__ as possible.
+It can be used to build a private **bitScanForward** routine, and to get the LSB (Least Significant Bit).
 A chess board is conveniently 8 x 8 squares, and these can be represented by the numbers 0-63, which is a nice fit for a six-bit long De Bruijn sequence.

+<code>
+Why does the standard numbering equation for de Bruijn sequences give differing results for dB(16,4) and dB(2,16), when both are 16 bits?
+De Bruijn sequences are numbered by the equation
+dB(k,n) = ((k!)^(k^(n-1)))/(k^n).
+When we have dB(2,16), the computed value is of the order 2.1598E+9859 .
+For dB(16,4), the computed value is of the order 2.7629E+54556.
+Yet, both sequences are represented within just 64K bytes of memory.
+Only one of these computations can be correct.
