  1. 1,2, 3, 6, 2, 8, 16, 2, 18, 36, 2

    The sum of the first and second number is equal to the third number. You then multiply the second and third number to get the fourth number. Every third number is a 2. Therefore, the next 6 numbers are going to be --2--2. You repeat the pattern so the 2 gets added. I'll let you work out the addition and multiplication.

  2. You actually can die as a result of being lonely but it's more of the mental affect that gets to you. I agree that it's not a likely answer though. So let's try

    he was claustrophobic and as Segul guessed possibly killed himself?

  3. Do you mean global warming?

    No. I meant polar bears but global warming would be connected. Global warming might be the answer but somehow, I can't see global warming as "we." The word den made me think of animals. It's probably referring to something else but it'll drive me nuts if I don't try. To me it sounds like the polar bears are losing their home to global warming and are deciding whether to stay or leave.

  4. There are three people, they are (and will) be born on the same date 12 years and one month apart from eachother. The first of these people will be born later this year. The second persons birth year, when the individual digits are summed eaquals the day of their birth. The average of the third and first persons month of birth of birth squared eaquals the day of their birth. The older the person the later the month. What are the three birthdays?

    The two bolded sections contradict each other making this one impossible. For the first part to be true, the last part would need to be the younger the person the later the month. Your answer has a difference of 11 years and 11 months.

  5. This isn't the correct answer but your on the right track, just remeber one person was born 2011 and the other two born prior to this not after

    Your original post states that the first person is born this year. That implies that that person will be the oldest one and the others will be born after.

    I think this line should be rephrased: "The average of the third and first persons month of birth of birth squared eaquals the day of their birth."

    The first person's month is squared but not the third person's.
