429448 2006-02-12 09:05:00 Its sunday again ... so how about another puzzle/no brainer.....


Look at the following sequence of five numbers and figure out which number comes next:

1 11 21 1211 111221



Hint: There is no maths involved.

429449 2006-02-12 09:18:00 Oh and btw - i think it goes without saying that you have to work it out for yourself ... not get google to do it for you..... Dannz (1668)
429450 2006-02-12 09:20:00 givus another clue mark c (247)
429451 2006-02-12 09:20:00 givus another clue

I dont have any other clues :p - anything else will give it away .... i worked it out. -- its not hard

429452 2006-02-12 09:23:00 Slightly off the topic of the puzzle but why dont we make this a regular thing? -- im not going to be able to come up with one every sunday, so anyone feel free to post one. Dannz (1668)
429453 2006-02-12 09:32:00 Should be 312211 (I think) Sweep (90)
429454 2006-02-12 09:43:00 111122221

yes good idea have a regular sunday no brainer.

429455 2006-02-12 09:45:00 This is a good puzzle - I have seen it before, and I will agree with Sweep ...

A hint:

The solution is along the lines of ...

11 was a racehorse
22 was 12
1111 race
22112

Nonsense - the solution is mathematically derived. It's simply called number patterns, and probably was taught in 6th or 7th form school. I did it as part of my first year uni cos I never did maths in my last years of school.

312211 is correct.
