EventHorizon Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) What are the next 3 numbers in the sequence? 8, 6, 96, 047, 10803, 424, 878, 3, 9171, 98838, 7240, ?, ?, ? The sequence will go on indefinitely, and I tried to design it to be difficult. Notice "047" kept the leading 0....it is significant/needed. Good Luck The next two numbers after the question marks are 14844 and 82 How many unique numbers will this sequence go through?

0 EventHorizon Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Looks like a hint is needed. The sequence is a combination of 2 other sequences and a lame encryption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EventHorizon Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 No takers? Someone is bound to get it....or at least see some part of the pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EventHorizon Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ok...I thought I would give away a huge hint this time..... the sequence is closely related to the following sequence: 3, 14, 159, 2653, 58979, 323846, 2643383, ...

0 EventHorizon Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Look at the sequence in hint3, and remove commas and spacing.....look familiar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Look at the sequence in hint3, and remove commas and spacing.....look familiar? I could go for some of that pie right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EventHorizon Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I could go for some of that pie right now. right....so what is the original sequence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EventHorizon Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Looks like hints are not helping much... If you remove spacing and commas, the sequence is the digits of PI where each digit is encrypted using rot5 ((x+5) mod 10). To get the spacing, it is the fibbonacci series, but whenever the sum is greater than 5, 5 is subtracted. therefore, the numbers are 5733, 964, and 26 each number in the sequence will be from 1 to 5 digits. If you count 00047 to be different from 47 (I said the 0's were significant/needed in the question), then there are 111110 unique numbers in the sequence (100000 5 digit numbers, 10000 4 digit numbers, etc).

I was thinking that the Fibbonacci series was involved with this after you basically told us that Pi was. But then I still couldn't see the answer. This was a really good one, but a bit too tough (for me at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 grey cells Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yes , EventHorizon. This was a really tough one but nevertheless a great one. I tried solving it but could not arrive at a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
EventHorizon
What are the next 3 numbers in the sequence?
8, 6, 96, 047, 10803, 424, 878, 3, 9171, 98838, 7240, ?, ?, ?
The sequence will go on indefinitely, and I tried to design it to be difficult. Notice "047" kept the leading 0....it is significant/needed.
Good Luck
