That was kind of hard. But I like it.
fun teaser! at first I didn't get it, but I did after I read the hint. nice job!
After checking the hint, it was easy as can be! Fantastic job! Keep creating, you are doing an Awesome job.
You've got to be kidding??! Are you guys saying you actually solved this? Way too hard for this gal.
Yes, it is difficult to believe anyone can solve a series that has not a mathematical root...
The hint really is an essential part of the question. I prefer sequence/series to be more durable than alphabetical order. Fifty years ago two of your numbers would not have been part of the sequence. If you used states in order of admission to Union, you would have had immutable sequence!
