Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 OK, so I have tried answering a few riddles, with mixed success, and I thought I would add one of my own.

0 Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 27? 35, 56, 72 1, x, x, 4, x, 6, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, 15, . . . Sequence of numbers (x1 .. xn) between visible numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, ... 3rd visible = 6 = 2 * 3 (x1 * x2) 4th visible = 15 = 3 * 5 (x2 * x3) 5th visible = 35 = 5 * 7 (x3 * x4) 6th visible = 56 = 7 * 8 (x4 * x5) It works so far, but is it right?

Very clever, but also wrong. So I think I may offer some advice There are only 10 numbers in this whole sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 How about the number 32? Also wrong. I think I might give another number for every five incorrect guesses rather than daily So two more wrong guess and another number will be given.

0 Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 i'm just clever and as a tip to others - this is NOT a mathematical sequence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pickett Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I figured this one out last night actually... I actually got it after I had a drink or two at a bar You can also start a similar sequence with 18 13 10 2... Good sequence riddle. I liked it. I'm amazed I actually figured it out...
