ah. So you can see there is no logic in the series, 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14. So did I. And indeed, there isn't. They are just the numbers with no curves, in other words, they're written with only straight lines.

So, we start with 1.

2, 3 are out of game.

So, we have 4.

And 5, 6 are out, too.

So, continue with 7, then 8, 9, 10 are out. Then 11, then it must be 14, then it must be 17... on and on.

usually the more academic you are the more difficult these questions are.

I still have no idea how it works....

But don't try to explain further. I only get more and more frustrated with numbers.

don't you worry, there's no maths involved!

Math isn't the problem. Numbers are.

I can't keep them lined up. They dance around like an Amusement Park ride. I have difficulty entering phone numbers on a telephone or even using a calculator. It usually takes me 2-3 tries to tell a telephone sales person my credit card number correctly... and that's just saying the numbers.

I'm sure you've heard of "Dyslexia," the problem some folks have with reading letters. I have the 'number equivalent' of that, called "Dyscalculia."

OK, here's a quick and easy question (NO googling now...):

What is Paul McCartney’s middle name?

Ha, good one, it's Paul. His first name is John I think.

OK, what do the following bands have in common?

Kings of Leon
Creedance Clearwater Revival
The Kinks

orlok · 07-08-2011, 04:32 PM

They all have siblings (brothers/cousins) as members of the band?

Bilbo1967 · 07-08-2011, 04:33 PM

It's brothers, yes.

Take it away.

orlok · 07-08-2011, 04:35 PM

Oh bugger, I'm not ready for another question. Will have a think...

Okay: another one that would be very easy to goog;e:

What's the real name of Siddartha Gautama?
