    This thread is getting boring!

    Here's 2 unrelated series. What's the next numbers:

    1,3,4,x,y,z (there's more than one possible answer. Give them all if you can)
    1,3,4,6,7,9 ( I think that's right. The other one I have no clue.)

    So you took +2, +1, +2, +1, etc.? That's one option I didn't think of

    Give the other one a bit more thought. Here it is again. The series is actually 10 numbers long, I've only put a part of it here. I've added another number to maybe make it easier:

    ___6,___5,___6,___9,___4,___a (this is a series repeating itself indefinitely, the preceding numbers doesn't matter - tell us what's the next number and in what instances does it repeat itself)

    Who is supposed to be next?

    Well, the last pattern is:
    1
    4
    9
    16
    25
    36
    49
    64
    81
    100

    1,4,9,6,5,6,9,4,1 will continue to repeat itself indefinitely with square numbers.


    I can't even remember the answer to the other one.

    You go ahead, Roomys_ZA, give us a more interesting one

    Just for the record, I think the other one is 1,3,4,7,11,18,29etc (the sum of the previous two numbers).

    Indeed.
    It can also be 1, 3, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc (sum of all numbers)
    It can also be 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 1, (+2,+1,+0,-1,-2, etc)
    Then we can go: 1, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75 (+2, +1, +0.5, +0.25 - plus half that of the previous plus)
    JP's idea: 1,3,4,6,7,9 (+2, +1, +2, +1)

    Now we're creating a pattern within a pattern...


    Shall we continue?
