Nope and nope.
I actually had to double check in both cases cause melisa has it close in enough when you first glance at it offhandedly, but on closer inspections isn't really that close.
Jer I doublechecked it and no, no sequence is missing.
Also if/when you come up with a guess/answer state your reasoning behind the sequence as that has a lot to do with answering this riddle. _________________ Seek, Learn, Enjoy |

Good job Jer, now would you care to enlighten the rest of the folk on how that number and the next and the next and the next are gotten?
I actually followed that out to 20 lines, the number gets huge and starts to get confusing to try to keep it right. _________________ Seek, Learn, Enjoy |

Well, I first thought that there was a pattern developing, but, the numbers really weren't keeping pattern, so my very next thought was that the line below spells out the line above, which turned out to be right. It really didn't take me long to figure it out, but I'll tell ya when the pattern thing wasn't right, I pretty much left it alone, until I realized noone else was really trying to guess, so I just put my hypothesis in action, and it turned out to be right... God I'm blessed. _________________ Improvise, Adapt, Overcome |

| Quote: | | first line is spelling out the line below |
you read that incorrectly, he stated that | Quote: | | line below spells out the line above |
all except for the first line each line describes the line above it.
1
above is one one = 11
above is two one(s) = 21
above is one two, one one = 1211
above is one one, one two, two one(s) = 111221
above is three one(s), two two(s), one one = 312211
above is one three, one one, two two(s), two one(s)= 13112221
and so on and so forth. _________________ Seek, Learn, Enjoy |
