0 Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Took me a while to figure it out, first I thought it had something to do with binary and I would have guessed the next number would be 16, but that doesn't exactly fit in.. Especially because of your hints, it wouldn't make sense if it was 16. So I kept looking and found a new possible solution: The next number is 3 according to me. As hints you have given A and B so far, which are the first 2 letters of the alphabet. I assume the hint is to try to find the connection between the letters of the alphabet and the numbers.. As you can see, there's an A in 1000 (thousAnd), a B in 1000000000 (Billion), a C in 10^27 (oCtillion), a D in 100 (hunDreD), an E in 1 (onE), a F in 4 (Four) and a G in 8 (eiGht). If my thinking is correct, then every number should be the first number containing that certain letter. So my answer is 3, because the next letter is H, which can be found back in 3 (tHree) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mekal Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) okay... i know this has already been solved... but i am determined to get it right... letters could be refering to wording... but also could be refering to the alphebetical code... so if you use wording it might be 3 or 8... if you use the alphebetical code it would be 16... am i right?

0 Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Using Google's advanced search feature comes in handy for some of the harder searches. If you put "brainden.com" next to "Search within a site or domain:" and search for "1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000", you'll get this page.
