Yeah, probably 99.9% of people won't get this, but it has less to do with patterns I think (spoiler) BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 10/05/2010 12:21:06 AM
What are the next two numbers in this sequence?

110, 20, 12, 11, 10, ?, ?.



110 = 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^0 = 6 (base 2)
20 = 2*3^1 + 0*3^0 = 6 (base 3)
12 = 1*4^1 + 2*4^0 = 6 (base 4)
11 = 1*5^1 + 1*5^0 = 6 (base 5)
10 = 1*6^1 + 0*6^0 = 6 (base 6)
? = 6 (base 7)
? = 6 (base 8 )

They really don't teach this stuff anymore, though. At least, not widely. If you don't know about bases, there is basically (no pun intended :P) no way you can get the answer.

I despise these sorts of problems (spoiler) Isaac - 09/05/2010 09:38:41 PM 835 Views
that is correct (now no looking ahead, cheaters ) *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/05/2010 09:43:35 PM 379 Views
Based on the view count I would say at least half the people have decided to cheat *NM* Isaac - 09/05/2010 09:52:42 PM 376 Views

i couldn't begin to tell you LadyLorraine - 09/05/2010 10:29:09 PM 761 Views
That's going to bug me for ages now. Legolas - 09/05/2010 11:48:07 PM 717 Views
It is a lot harder, and you probably are . Tim - 09/05/2010 11:53:26 PM 739 Views
You would need a good base in math to figure it out. *NM* Brian - 10/05/2010 12:03:09 AM 398 Views
That... that was either brilliant or terrible. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/05/2010 12:10:12 AM 337 Views
It was a definite hint. Brian - 10/05/2010 12:26:41 AM 740 Views

I'm a little confused by this. *kind of spoiler* Ghavrel - 10/05/2010 12:12:37 AM 688 Views
I thought of that, but that doesn't seem to lead anywhere, so dropped that line of thought... Legolas - 10/05/2010 12:16:04 AM 740 Views

This is correct. (spoiler obviously) Brian - 10/05/2010 12:25:02 AM 707 Views
Right. I guess I might've found that eventually. Legolas - 10/05/2010 12:29:57 AM 741 Views
I never like base change ones, let me see if I can remember one... Isaac - 10/05/2010 01:28:06 AM 771 Views
To save confusion, anyone who gets that just give it in base 10 *NM* Isaac - 10/05/2010 01:52:45 AM 387 Views

Ths is not a logic problem. It's a puzzle. Aeryn - 10/05/2010 02:33:19 PM 628 Views
Re: No no, there's a definite pattern. Danae al'Thor - 10/05/2010 06:50:01 PM 644 Views
