igosaur Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I must confess, I looked the numbers up and found a puzzle website. That was their answer. Very now.. Igosaur, where on earth did you get that from? It's easily [hide]312211[/hide] this has come up here quite a few times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tree Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Did it give any elaboration on why that might be the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Following the Fibonacci sequence, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igosaur Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yes. Quite right Following the Fibonacci sequence, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 i don't think that would justify the positions of the numbers... Igosaur, where on earth did you get that from?

river_rat Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 111 21 1211 111221 ? Lol, this one is actually easy : just read the numbers out loud First Line : You have One One = Second Line Second Line : You have Two Ones = Third Line Third Line : You have One Two and One One = 4th Line 4th Line : You have One One and One Two and Two Ones = 5th Line 5th Line = You have Three Ones, Two Two's and One One so the next line is 312211 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severian Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I hate these sort of puzzles. Any rule which correctly matches the presented numbers provide a valid answer, but there are always multiple rules which supply the same presented numbers but diverge once you get beyond them. But you are always required to get inside the twisted little mind of the guy who set the problem and present the answer that he thought of, even if another is more logical. For example, following Igosaur's lead, I could ask for the next number in the series: 1 11 21 1211 111221 111222211 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
