+purple_pineapple Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I think its -i actually, i got the same rather obvious pattern as slimey... so no sensible answer from me! Link to comment
+The Bongtwashes Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 No, not -i or ?. but at least you're not chasing an 'obvious' solution (at least not obvious until you realise the simple reasoning) Link to comment
+Guanajuato Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 0 ? It looks like its the previous number plus the difference between the current & previous number. make sense? Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 No, not -i or ?. but at least you're not chasing an 'obvious' solution (at least not obvious until you realise the simple reasoning) lol, i was being silly - i'm gonna have to think again now! Link to comment
+The Bongtwashes Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 No-one has got it yet. There can be no terms before the question mark, but otherwise it is an infinite series. Link to comment
+Team Maddie UK Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) How's about A1 ? I believe that each number is the decimal equivalent of it's hexadecimal predecessor Edited September 20, 2006 by Team Maddie UK Link to comment
+The Bongtwashes Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 How's about A1 ? Nope, single character. Link to comment
+Team Maddie UK Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) B ... darn it !!!! I can't believe I got that wrong I was so excited that I'd solved it, I managed to screw up the answer. Martin Edited September 20, 2006 by Team Maddie UK Link to comment
+The Bongtwashes Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 B ... darn it !!!! That'll be a DING Read each character as a hexadecimal number, the next term is it's decimal equivalent. ie B(hex) = 11(dec) , 11(hex) = 17(dec) etc. Over to you. Link to comment
