0 Guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 131 228 331 430 531 630 731 830 931 looks good to me but ... 228 doesn't fit then. It should be 230, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to know I got it.It was a very well concealed one indeed. And guys please do try out SEQUENCE WITH A DIFFERENCE . I have posted a hint. I should have posted a hint earlier. Your Personal statement holds true Bononova. Edited March 26, 2008 by grey cells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think the answer is: 831 930 not 830 931 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think the answer is: 831 930 not 830 931 Yup. Bonus points awarded for correcting the oops before any of us other geniuses did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well frankly speaking Brhan I failed to see the puzzle in the right way(your way). Now I'm curious. How did you get the answer if you didn't know the pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Now I'm curious. How did you get the answer if you didn't know the pattern? You can alternate adding 99 and 101. It does not work for the 228, but I believe it does work for the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, but the 2 28 is right at the start of the sequence so I would think that it couldn't be overlooked too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 grey cells Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Now I'm curious. How did you get the answer if you didn't know the pattern? Hey! Itachi-san , there is a thing called GUT INSTINCT. And the sequence was too much of a co-incidence for my answer not to be right. 331 430 531 630 731 830 931 It was my first guess. Then after realising the implications of the pattern , I modified my answer. hey ! You really are suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
