ha.. nope..
after you answered though, it made me wonder if a french speaking person would be able to get it.. i think french might be okay but i'm not too sure about all languages.. better stick to english to find the next line in that series. -
-
Well done jeff
I was starting to think no one would get it.
-
so no takers on this one?
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221
1113213211i'll give it another day or so before revealing..
no more puzzles? i'm addicted to things like this..

31131211131221?

bingo! nice work remus
the puzzle is called a look-say.. basically, look at the line then say/write what you see..
1 = one one.. there is one one so the next line is 11
11= two ones.. there are two ones so the next line is 21
etc.. -

i barely know any french but it appears to work in spanish as well.. uno,dos,tres,quatro,cinco,seis..
my guess for the next letter would then be 'C' for cero.. if C is wrong then my guess is:
whatever the first letter is in the translation of 'zero' in french..
-
zero is zero...

-
Try this:
1,1,2,3,5,8,13...
Whats the next number?
-
seems 21 but in this sort of successions there are often several arguing possibilities

What's the next number?
Fibonacci ...21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987,1597,2584,4181,6765... etc

Yes but this one will also valuable
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 13 14 15 20 25 25 etc...sure totally arbitrary but apply with an interval repetition -
Outside a room there are three light switches. Each switch is connected to a different light bulb inside the room.
Each of the three switches can be either 'ON' or 'OFF'.
You are allowed to set each switch the way you want it and then enter the room. you can only do this once.Your task is to then determine which switch controls which bulb. How can you do it?
-
-
I ask someone to stay outside the room and help me.
-
I tie a string to one of the switches, then enter the room.
-
I call the architect and tell him how bad his design is for having put the switches outside.
-
I give up.

haha #3 sounds good.
1 & 2 are not allowed. (or anything like those)
4 - nah - there's a real solutionoh, and i should add.. if you fail, something terrible will happen.. let's say nuclear war
-
-
Is there a sneaky trick to it, or is there a combination of on/offs that you can set to work it out?
