0 Guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 You are inserting some 0's and 1's in the binary format of primary numbers. My guess 25... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 21, by inserting two 0's in binary format of 7 i.e. 111 = 10101 =21 Manish , your reasoning for the sequence would hold true till 21 . But the next number is 137 . How would you arrive at that ? There are a wide array of prime numbers after 21 . If you have an explanation , please do post it . And according to my reasoning , 21 is not the answer . And I did not follow this path of reasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 92.. bet thats the right number/s is not my answer . Though it may be that your answer answers best for you than my answer answers . But for me my answer answers best than your answer .So my answer is that your answer is not my answer and hence try finding a better answer. Hope that makes it clearer. HINT: Noct was agonisingly close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 19? Try . But not the answer . Actually Noct was AGONIZINGLY close . The stress on the word Agonizing is the hint. I cannot be more clear without giving away the answer . This one's actually easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 16 Again , good try. But the number is prime . See Noct's post for the hint[post#2]. Then you might understand why I placed the stress on AGONIZING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
