seen this many different places but I forget every time so nice job, you stumped me.
Lol, I thot ov another way to solve. So it's 1, 7, 11, 27, riight? So then it's 77, 111, which continues the pattern (sort of) then you just put 27 instead of the 11, so u get 127. Good teaser!
DemonLord, that's not actually a valid pattern. Anyways, Great teaser! I never would've thought of that.
Am I missing something?
one = 1
sev-en = 2
e-lev-en = 3
twen-ty-sev-en = 4
sev-en-ty-sev-en = 5
one-hun-dred-and-e-lev-en = 7
1 2 3 4 5 7 (no 6?)?
what happened to
one-hun-dred-and-sev-en = 6?
one = 1
sev-en = 2
e-lev-en = 3
twen-ty-sev-en = 4
sev-en-ty-sev-en = 5
one-hun-dred-and-e-lev-en = 7
1 2 3 4 5 7 (no 6?)?
what happened to
one-hun-dred-and-sev-en = 6?
