Question

I got this idea from brhan's sequence.

A set of numbers is given below:

1,2,3,2,1,2,3,4,2,1

Another set of numbers is given below:

8,4,12,4,8,4,12,2,4,8

There is a certain relationship between these two sets of numbers.Can you find the relationship? ;)

If nobody finds an answer I will post a hint. :)

For newbies , please post your answer inside spoilers.

One that I think is more what you had in mind...

It works for all except the 3rd to last term... But 8/x. I know it's not completely right so i'm still hammering out some other variations.

Is this close at all to what you want? Or am i going completely the wrong direction.

Sorry.No , what i have in mind is something different.

Try of converting the first Set of nos. into second set or vice-versa.

I think this one is difficult. Dono which direction to go .... -_-

a different base(Hexadecimal)
That makes 12[hex] = 18[decimal] the others are the same in hex or decimal.


2 -> 4
3 -> 18
4 -> 2
1 ->  8
I'm missing something. Or perhaps the OP is missing a "decimal" point, and the relationship is

8/2 -> 4
8/3 -> 1.8[hex] -> 2.666[dec] ... kind of? [nah]
8/4 -> 2
8/1 ->  8

I'll wait for the answer.

Well, the first is a pattern of numbers that go up to three, then back to one, then up to four then skips three and goes back to one.

The second kinda goes with that pattern, but 8 replace 1, 4 replaces 2, 12 replaces 3, and 2 replaces 4.

Uhhh... that's about as far as I get.

With bases...

the first set would remain the same. Octet.. quartet.. binary? The four and two replace each other for some reason.

=/ I'm not so good at these things, guess I will have to wait for the answer as well.

The second series numbers are binary reverse of first series numbers.. if you consider four binary digits..

for example:

1=0001, in reverse order 1000=8

2=0010, in reverse order 0100=4

3=0011, in reverse order 1100=12(C )

4=0100, in reverse order 0010=2

12 is also ok!Excellent puzzle!! <_<

Thanks Storm.And congrats You got the answer.But you also made the same mistake I made.

1100=C not 12.

But you reasoned it out first.So congratulations.

It can be considered also as 12..becoz..

In decimal..1100 is 12...why worry?
