Let the first and second items of the list be x and y respectively. This checks whether input-x is divisible by y-x. (Doesn't work sometimes, I'll take a look.)

| Apr 2, 2020 at 13:14 | comment | added | Wheat Wizard Mod | @xnor I don't think I will limit it to positive integers because positive integers are not bounded below, meaning sequences could only increase. This pretty radically changes the content of the challenge. | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 12:35 | comment | added | xnor | I don't know what you want to allow, but some other possible implementations of infinite lists could be as a generator function that produces a new value on each call, or a black-box function taking a natural n and giving the n'th value. | |

| Apr 2, 2020 at 6:14 | comment | added | Mitchell Spector | How do you propose taking an infinite list as input? I think the natural approach would use as "input" a program (or function with no arguments) that runs forever; the list would consist of the numbers that it outputs when run. (This would be sort of like a plug-in that your answer could use.) The problem is that that might make the challenge trivial. But I'm not sure how else to take the input list. | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 4:26 | comment | added | xnor | I like this idea. Do we have a default for taking "infinite lists" as input? I'd mildly suggest limiting the numbers to positive integers on general principle. | |
