0 Guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 11111 + 1000 = 12111 then 12111 + 20111 - 1000 = 31222 but then 31222 + 2000 = 23222 so this is double the first set so I conclude 23222 + 40222 - 2000 = 61444 is the next number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) I think it is 1312221, 1113122211, 311113122221, 13111131222211, 1113111131222221. Here are the steps for the logic: 1. Count the number of 1's from right. Write the number of 1's. 2. Write another 1. 3. Write preious number, starting from beginning and ending before the 1's for left start. 4. Count the number of 1's to left. Wrote the number of 1's. 5. Write 1. Edited September 3, 2009 by Ekta Jindal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
