Brain Teaser
Consider these strings: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221,
312211, ... what is the next item?
As a hint, it is called an audioactive puzzle.
The answer is 13212221.
The clue that it is audioactive gives it away.
The full sequence is the starting
number, 1.
Next is a description of it: "One 1', 11.
Next
is a description of THAT sequence, 'Two one's',
21.
The pattern continues. There's 'One
2, and
One 1', 1211.
Thus 'One 1, One 2, and two 1s'
gives 111221.
Then 'three 1's, Two 2, and One 1'
translates as 3112211'.
Therefore next is 'One
3, Two 1's, Two 2's, Two Ones', 13212221."
