0 Anon26 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Fabpig must have a logic behind that AS long as you can prove the logic, the sequence can be considered correct so logic I put is that next number is the previous number divided by one. Its applicalble so it ought to be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww phillip, It's taken me 7 months to get 1 of Supe's puzzles (it took me 6.5 months to understand one), an I thought I'd finally dragged him down to my level. Then you introduce that.
