What is the program about?

This program takes I.Q. tests

There are some errors in the program. The original copy was deleted from the server. There were some bugs in the backup copy which need to be fixed. The word list is now taken from unix system dictionary.

Currently it can only solve sequences. Eg. of a very simple sequence would be "1 2 3 4". They could also consist characters "a B c D e F" or characters and numbers "a 1 b 2 c 3 d"

add, are, character, characters, digit, digits, enter, give, insert, in, is, find, letter, letters, missing, next, number, numbers, please, series, sequence, the, two, what
