0 Guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 not sure but considering the numbers as powers of 2, the sequence becomes 0,1,1,3,5,... 2*0+1=1; 2*1+1=3; 2*1+3=5; hence, the next number will be 2*3+5=11 therefore, the next member of the sequence should be 2^11=2048 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
