What is the relationship between these two strings of numbers?

1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 1 and 12, 6, 4, 3, 12, 2, 12, 3, 4, 6, 1

What is the relationship between these two strings of numbers?

1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 1 and 12, 6, 4, 3, 12, 2, 12, 3, 4, 6, 1

The difference between the corresponding numbers in 2 sets is either a prime number or 1 or 0.

Am I anywhere close to the answer?

[Guest]

No, this is not the direction I was going, but very observant about the prime numbers... even though that would have only been "fractionally" correct, hince your need to use 0 and 1 also

[bonanova]

From the values of the numbers I thought it might

be, but after thinking more,

Clock hands.

I see that this has fallen to the second page so it must not have drawn as much interest, so in hopes of bringing this to an end here is another clue.

1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 1

12, 6, 4, 3, 12, 2, 12, 3, 4, 6, 1

use this along with the not so criptic clue i gave before

[grey cells]

1*(12/1)=12

1*(12/2)=6

1*(12/3)=4

1*(12/4)=3

5*(12/5)=12

And so on....

And it was damn interesting. So maybe it was a bit difficult.That's why it must have got into the 2nd page.

I believe you are on the right path, but it is not quite the answer I am looking for.

[grey cells]

Oh ! I replied in a hurry . The pattern does not fit the last 4 numbers . I have to try again.

[Guest]

if you turn them into fractions and add 1/12 every time i.e.

1 1 1 1 5 1 7 2 3 5 1

12 6 4 3 12 2 12 3 4 6 1

1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 1

12, 6, 4, 3, 12, 2, 12, 3, 4, 6, 1

The second row gives the first.The only problem is with the 1st and the last number,but

1-1=0

6-5=1

4-3=1

3-2=1

12-7=5

2-1=1 ...

12-1=11,we writing 1 at the end and transfering the other 1 at the begining of the first row:

1 1 1 1 5 1 7 2 3 5 1

12 6 4 3 12 2 12 3 4 6 1

"Little" bit stupid,a?

[Guest]

I placed the word fractionally in " " marks trying to lead towards something in my post to grey cell. I also showed the number lines one above the other in my second big clue for a reason. I do not know a way to put into words anything short of this without either giving the entire answer. I will happily give more clues but will prbly end up having to give away the answer because i can not figure out a way to do it otherwise.

What is the relationship between these two strings of numbers?

1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 1 and 12, 6, 4, 3, 12, 2, 12, 3, 4, 6, 1

Close, but not quite I'm sure:

Taking the first set as numerators and the second set as denominators: we have

1/12

5/12, and 7/12 =1

1/6, 5/6 =1

1/4, 3/4 =1

1/3, 2/3 =1

1/2

1/1 =1

I don't get the extraneous 1/12 and 1/2 though

[Guest]

itachi-san you almost have it

the lists are in a specific order for a reason

1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 1 and 12, 6, 4, 3, 12, 2, 12, 3, 4, 6, 1

1/12+1/12=1/6

1/6+1/12=1/4

1/4+1/12=1/3

1/3+1/12=5/12

5/12+1/12=1/2

1/2+1/12=7/12

7/12+1/12=2/3

2/3+1/12=3/4

3/4+1/12=5/6

5/6+1/12=11/12

11/12+1/12=1/1

But the series should be...

1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 11, 1

12, 6, 4, 3, 12, 2, 12, 3, 4, 6,12, 1

[Guest]

1/12 = 1/12

2/12 = 1/6

3/12 = 1/4

4/12 = 1/3

5/12 = 5/12

6/12 = 1/2

7/12 = 7/12

8/12 = 2/3

9/12 = 3/4

10/12 = 5/6

11/12 = 11/12

12/12 = 1/1

1,1,1,1,5,1,7,2,3,5,11,1 = numerators and 12,6,4,3,12,2,12,3,4,6,12,1 = denominators when 1/12, 2/12, 3/12.... is reduced to their lowest common denominators

I looked at this a thousand times in the past 3 days and I am seriously sorry that I left out one of the sets of numbers. I am sure that it would have much easier had I put all the information in for you.

Thank you Storm for finishing this string, and thank you everyone else that attempted this puzzle.

[grey cells]

Good one . I missed this one by fractions , not miles.
