Here's another number sequence, with no arithmetic necessary!
1, 4, 2, 3, 2, 8, 3, 3, 4, 2, 5, 1, 5.... What are the next three numbers? Last edited by issybird; 02-28-2012 at 07:03 PM. |

Er ... 4, 7, 1?
Hang on: those numbers have changed from the ones I wrote down initially. So I don't expect that answer is right. I think we crossed in the mail, issy! I'm still trying to work it out ... Last edited by Bookpossum; 02-29-2012 at 05:47 AM. |

I thought they might translate into dates in some manner, but I can't make it into a sequence.

There's a discernible pattern to the numbers which should reveal the general idea, if not the specific sequence.

Umm... ...6, 6, 1 ?
(although I suspect I'm wrong, as this sequence involve arithmetic.) |

Lose alternate commas and see if you can figure out the underlying logic. I admit that local (hint) knowledge would help with this specific instance.

I was hoping the numbers would stand for letters, as it isn't arithmetic, but I can't make anything out of it:
A D B C B H C C D B E A E . . . Pairing them (losing the alternate commas) starts off all right with recognisable abbreviations: AD BC BH CC DB EA E. .. but then I fall over with BH and DB ... My head hurts! |

They're just numbers.
14, 23, 28, 33, 42, 51, 5... Does seeing them like this help? |
