nope, you forgot your first digit there. "1"

CRAP! Ace #3 I'm out.

Yeah. I already noticed and changed it
Not going to post the next one as the thread is long and wide enough already!

Re: What comes next? - 04/09/2003 19:16

LOL!
Ok, I was going to say we can't post a reply unless we list the next number after the one in the post we're replying to, but now that'd be just ridiculous.

Everybody is welcome to continue from 11131221133112132113212221 though. You'll be able to tell us if we're right when you hit the 30th and 31st number

Re: What comes next? - 04/09/2003 19:49

I thought the next number in the series from the first post would be:

1121121211

Re: What comes next? - 04/09/2003 20:11

I thought the next number in the series from the first post would be:

1121121211

But if you were going that route then you'd still be wrong anyway;
111111121211
And then;
111111111111111211121111
111111111111111111111111111111121111111211111111
etc.

Alternatively you could have also said;
2111121211.

The 'accepted' answer (312211) is the only one that avoids ambiguity.

I notice that you're adding another logic puzzle to this thread...

Where the hell did the reply buttons go?

Hehe.. It's not my fault that browsers don't break up long lines. Though that's probably the only behavior that makes sense... I thought about breaking it up like Trevor did, but I'm lazy.

Re: What comes next? - 05/09/2003 07:09

I must have missed that hidden message in the first post about avoiding ambiguity.

I guess I saw a different logic to the series than everyone else.
