Guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've never tried creating one of these. I feel it may be either way too easy or way too hard. Hopefully I'm wrong.

0 Akriti Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 not a single one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 not a single one? hmm, of the 5 numbers you picked, 3 are not possible. One is actually correct but in the wrong place. Care to share your methodology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Can you give us more of the sequence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) 19, 1, 18 using the following pattern: a1 = 8 a2 = 6 a3=4 a4 = 8 a5=16 etc. an + an+3 - 3 = an+6 Edited April 21, 2011 by jpf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Akriti Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) x=9 y=20 z=-4 Hope this one is not as bad as the previous one!!!! :P Edited April 22, 2011 by Akriti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 No, sorry. I'm afraid that those working on this one are relying on far far too complex mathematics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 23, 17, 7 My guess is based on this being a 24 hour clock, since it was stated that 3 of Akriti's numbers were not possible. And I think there are 2 number sequences, one varies by multiples of 5 and the other by multiples of 2. I think I have the hard part, but am not sure about the easy part.

0 Guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Sorry nana, incorrect as well. edit - actually one number is correct and one is off by 1...but the reasoning is incorrect. Edited April 25, 2011 by maurice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
