Number Sequences
Ok, since I've been asked, here's an old chestnut in a slightly different form.

Here are the numbers 1 to 6 in a sequence:
5, 4, 1, 6, 3, 2

Here are the numbers 7 to 12 in a sequence:
8, 11, 9, 7, 10, 12

Now, using the same rule as the two sequences above, give me the sequence for 4 to 9.

When you give an answer, please hide it in

If so, I'd say it's
8 5 4 9 7 6
alphabetically.

I was SO not close I'm embarrassed.

My brain is way too linear/logical to solve these things. But I'll keep trying!

I really wanted to work this one out earlier. I haven't looked at any spoilers yet. Still don't have a clue how to approach/view this one. Will think about it some more.

Thanks pdurrant, it is challenging!

Interesting challenge!

I think I must have seen something like this before or I'd still be puzzling through it.

Yes, another correct answer — well done.

And yes, the more puzzles you do, the easier they get — in part because you may come across similar puzzles to ones you've done before.

Please keep posting them pdurrant

I haven't got one right yet, but I enjoy thinking about things like this and, who knows, one day I might even get one.
