Primitive teasers

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

Just a few primitive teasers to occupy your mind with. Find a way to generate these sequences:

 

1. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64...

2. 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...

3. 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6...

And one that's a little harder:

 

4. 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5, 4, 6, 7, 5, 3...

 

Enjoy,

 

Gabe

Here's another one, however this one is with letters:

 

5. Q, A, Z, W, S...

 

Just to have it written down, numbers 4. and 5. have yet to be solved...so good luck, you won't be needing it :o)

 

Cheers,

5. Q, A, Z, W, S...

How about this?

 

 6. 12243 64860 72849 6...

 

How is 4. coming along? Any luck? That's a pretty tough one, I admit. :)

 

Cheers,
