0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 By taking the difference between the 1st number and the following going progressively down the line i have noticed that the difference in numbers has gone to 13 every 4th difference with the last 2 differences being 13.... this is how I did that.... 10-4=6 24-10=14 32-24=8 45-32=13 54-45=9 84-54=30 104-84=20 117-104=13 130-117=13 now... i am guessing the next number will be between 139-143 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 also, I'm looking for the next terms in both sequences, and the formulas... both sequences are posted because they are somehow related. you have to find out how! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 What I meant from my previous post is that the series (should) follow the same pattern as the two you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 What I meant from my previous post is that the series (should) follow the same pattern as the two you posted. I'm not sure how you got this series using the same pattern(s). Unless you found a different pattern than the one(s) I originally had. Just to double check, based on the pattern you found, could you give the next two terms in each of the series I gave originally? That or explain (in spoiler, of course! ) the pattern for your series.

0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 how about 11*13 = 143 or 11*14 = 154 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 sorry, shouldn't have said "series". Poor word choice b/c it gives the wrong idea. Pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 how about 11*13 = 143 or 11*14 = 154 have been guessed- see first few posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 how did you get this pattern? 1 * 4 = 4 2 * 6 = 12 3 * 10 = 30 4 * 11 = 44 5 * 13 = 65 6 * 14 = 84 7 * 18 = 126 8 * 20 = 160 9 * 21 = 189 10 * 22 = 220 first multiplier increments, difference between 2nd multipliers are 2,4,1,2,1,4,2,1,1. the differences of the differences are 2,-3,1,-1,3,-2,-1,0, the same as your other series (i.e. pick a starting point for the differences between the multipliers, you used 1 and 0, i used 2, and you can find the other multipliers). there must be some way of calculating the 2nd multiplier, i just haven't found it yet...

0 Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) The difference between your two series is as follows: 0,2,6,12,20,30,42,56,72,90 or, 2+4+6+8+10... I used 3+6+9+12+15...etc to create the new series. As this only gives me numbers which are parallel to the amount of entries in your original sequences I can not provid any additional numbers. *Caution* Spoiler contains graphs.
