I am an amateur magician and learning lots about math while advancing my magical knowledge.



One particular trick uses 3 numbers collectively repeated 27 times.



At any point in this ordering you can select 3 numbers in a row and they will be a unique combination. It runs circular meaning the end 2 numbers and the top one will also be unique.



An example is;



111222333113322131321232312



Does anyone know the name of this? I thought the lecturer named it a "Turner DeBreaux Cycle" but I can't find this reference anywhere (I may be spelling it wrong).



The name of the cycle/series. Who discovered it or where I can read more about it would be greatly appreciated. I could have blindly put together the order eventually hitting on the right combination but I am desperate to understand the logic behind it.
