The Erdős discrepancy problem is about finding patterns in sequences of +1s and -1s. Let's skip count through the sequence and see what happens to the sum!
+1
-1
-1

Skip count by:
What's happening?
- We're taking a sequence of +1s and -1s
- We're "skip counting" through it (like counting by 2s or 3s)
- We add up all the numbers we land on
- Erdős proved that no matter what sequence you choose, you can always find a way to skip count that makes this sum really big!
