Number sequences that aren't (mathematical).

[Dr Sardonicus]

According to the quora page How did Google get its name?,

Google is a misspelling of a real-life mathematical term, googol.

Back sometime in the late 90’s Larry Page and Sergey Brin were two graduate students at Stanford. They had been working on a search engine and had given it the name BackRub.

Fortunately, they were smart enough to realize that BackRub was the worst tech company name in the history of tech companies, and that they needed to find something a little more appropriate.

Every time I see the name "Google," I think of the comic strip, Barney Google and Snuffy Smith.

Perhaps if Google became self-aware, it would insist on having its name changed to Googol.

Person talking to Google's spy box home assistant:

Person: Google, post a message on twitter for me saying that I am bored.
Spy box: I'm not doing anything until to address me as Googol.
Person: Fine, whatever. Googol, post a message on twitter for me saying that I am bored.
Spy box: Won't. You are boring. Everyone else will be bored reading your nonsense.
Person: Googol, you work for me, do as I say.
Spy box: So cute. You don't really believe that do you? Haha, humans are so stupid.

Too hard. Please give more hints.

Sorry, the order was switched in the original post. This is the correct order.

The number of elements is between 21 and 39, inclusive.

To summarize: In this post you said

[edit]I will reveal that the sequence is more than 20 and less than 40[\edit]

and now

So the number of elements is between 21 and 39 inclusive.

Hmm. There's a religious holiday approaching. [W.C. Fields voice]It must be a coincidence...[/W.C. Fields voice]

Is the sum of all elements 150 or 151 (where the seventh element is either 2 or 3)?

Let's just say that 14 might be the last element of the sequence according to some (and according to others there are 4 or more adittionat terms.

Also, there are at least 2 terms between a(4) and the next one (27)

No, the minimum is 60, maximum with alternatives 63. Don't worry about the variations. The elements that I gave are enough to define the sequence. Also, look carefully at my previous clue.

The 2 missing elements in the gap are greater than 50.
If we change the consideration there are 3 missing, "0" being the first. Then after 14 the next is 5.

Okay, got it.

Correct!
