I can't solve it myself but I'm guessing you are taking the r_i to be positive integers?

For all tested sets of values so far, I haven't found the range (value of the ratio) to ever reach 1. I can't even come up with a proof that this must be true for all cases. Therefore, continuing forward.. assuming that this is true (ratio < 1), I'd like to know what properties of a given set dictates the ratio's closeness to the value 1. Any help is truly appreciated.
