1, 1, 2
What is the next number in the series?
1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3
1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3
Hint
BinaryAnswer
1Take the series 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and write it as binary:
1,10,11,100,101,110,111,1000
then add up the digits of the binary number:
1,1,2,1,2,2,3,1

thats very clever but no1 would ever think of binary...wat is binary any way lol is that when u take a number and keep adding that number onto it again...but that would make it 1, 11, 111, 1111 so im confused
I got it...... eventually,
but I didnt know what binary was

That is not true. Binary goes like this.
1=1 2=01 3=11 4=001 5=101 6=011 7=111 8=0001 9=1001.
This is how it works. Each space is worth double the last space. Like:
_ _ _ _ _
1 2 4 8 16
You multiply each spaces value by the number put there. Ex.
1 0 0 1
1 2 4 8
1x1 is one, 0x2 is 0 0x4 is 0 1x8 is 8. Add them all up and get nine.
You have a very limited knowledge of the workings of binary. And it should go under cryptography.

Thanks for your explanation of how binary works.
I guess I should have said "add up the binary number as if it were decimal" to make it more clear.

I don't know what binary is! I thought the answer was 2, but that just seemed too easy.

i thought the answer was two also lol but i mean, i dont know what binary is, and just to let you know, i am not blonde. yet. lol but i mean like who is gonna get that, and by the way you WERE wrong. noo! now im being mean. sorry.

and we all are too stupid for ac1l.... o who gives a crap. im too stupid for all of you. and i know i should die my hair blonde! shutup.
let me guess ac3, youve already gone to colledge?
I kinda get it but I'm not sure I know what binaries are.
u can get 1 in another way
first there are two 1's and then there are two 2's including one 1 so the entire series would be
1,1,2,1,2,2,3,1,2,3,3,
only the next number was asked so even this logic is right
