Besides puns, homebrew and good conversation I also enjoy the occaisional puzzle. I've got a number sequence that appeared in a book called CUCKOO'S EGG. I'll post the sequence and anyone that wants the answer can e-mail me at junkaccount @sbcglobal.net Please feel free to contribute.
The sequence 1,11,21,1211, The objective: find the next number in sequence using the rules applied to the first 4 numbers. I will give one additional number in this series if so requested.

For those that haven't previously seen this sequence, have a go. You got an extra #. Anyone else have a good puzzle please contribute.

Nope and it would help if you clarify by stating the rule you are using to progress from one number to the next.

Well, I was thinking that 1 always gets added to the end, two 1s become a 2, and 2s get 1s added to the left.

jehovoid I sent the next in the series to your hotmail account. I'm not trying to pull some e-mail shenanigan. I just want to leave it open for those that haven't seen it before.
