What's the next number in this series:
1, 7, 13, 19, 15, 9, 3, 7, 11, 17, 13, 9, __
I have no idea how a person would go about figuring this out, but I'm throwing it out there to see if someone can.
Remind me and I'll tell you the answer later.
Update: My best friend figured it out and there is a pattern. (If you take a few minutes to look at it, you'll see it.)
Here's another one, but try to do the next 4 numbers:
1, 7, 13, 19, 25, 31, 37, 43, 49, 44, 39, __, __, __, __
Bonus points if you can tell me where I got that second pattern.
Posted by Flibbertigibbet at July 16, 2007 03:57 PM | TrackBackFor the first one, I think the next number is 3.
The second one, I don't know, this seems too easy - or else it's just wrong: 34, 29, 24, 19
Not sure where the pattern came from, though.
Posted by: Jeff St Real at July 17, 2007 12:08 PMNope. You got them both wrong.
Posted by: Flibbert at July 17, 2007 12:46 PMI believe the answer to the first one is 5.
I'm stumped on the second one, though.
Posted by: lucylovebiscuit at July 17, 2007 01:07 PMSecond time through I came up with 5 on the first one, also.
I give up on the other one.
Posted by: Jeff St Real at July 17, 2007 01:22 PMYup! 5 is the correct answer on the first one. Here's a hint: 5 is also the last number in that series; you can't go any further.
