$5 Paypal for guessing the mathematical pattern

Expand Post »
I figure I'd let you all get a go at another math riddle Let's see if you can figure out the pattern and then guess the next three numbers. The first person to successfully post the next three numbers of the pattern will receive $5 PayPal

1, 11, 21, 1211, ...

Okay, well maybe that was one number too many I'm letting you guys have it too easy!

Re: $5 Paypal for guessing the mathematical pattern

Two questions is anyone right and do you mean sets of numbers or 1 number by itself?

Re: $5 Paypal for guessing the mathematical pattern

Ok you start with 1 then the next set tells you that there was one ones(11) and the next tells you two ones(21) and then there is two ones and one one (1211) ect. there will never be a four in this pattern.

Re: $5 Paypal for guessing the mathematical pattern

Oooh not quite magic ... if you work it out looooong enough you'll encounter 4s, and 5s, etc ... Oh, I misunderstood - there will never be a 4 in the sequence of the 3 next numbers I asked for
