Solve a puzzle, all correct answers worth 1 point..
Puzzle #1
Sequence 2,2,2,6,10,18
What are the next 3 numbers? See posts for aswers

Here's a new puzzle:
Puzz#3: If ALPHA + GAMMA = 8CSK2
Then PFLEF - HA920 = (?)

New riddle: (by kupo666)
There is a town that wishes to expand their fountain to twice it's size, but there's a problem. The fountain is square, and arranged with a tree at each corner. The town doesn't want to pay to have the trees removed,so how can they double the fountain's size, while removing the least amount of trees?

Kupo666: 2
What me worry: 2
happy sad fun: 1
strike wolf: 1
subdork: .5
spockers: .5
pyro55: .5

Thnx viking thunder, that was just a warm up, I'll have to make the next one harder
answer PUZZ#1(34,62,114)(add previous 3 #'s)

PUZZ #2
1,10,11,100
What are the next 3 numbers?

by **Spockers** on Tue Nov 14, 2006 1:14 am

101, 110,111

do you need to know the formula?

by **Paulicus** on Tue Nov 14, 2006 1:29 am

if you want all the points.

Edit.. answer PUZZ#2 (101,110,111)(counting in binary)

It's just adding 1 using binary numbers.

But the problem with puzzles like this is that there is no one answer.

Like I could have said that A(n) = [A(n-1)*A(n-2)] + (-1)^n*[A(n-2)]
Meaning multiply the previous 2 terms and alternate adding and subtracting the 2nd ago term. (where A(0) = 1 and A(1) = 10)
And then the next 3 numbers would be 1111, 111000, 123322111

Hmm good one subdork.. I'll have to consider bonus points for any further ones I do.

Sorry guys, I knew I shouldn't have been playing with #'s at midnight last night... Puzz#3 will work now.

by **cowshrptrn** on Tue Nov 14, 2006 8:23 pm

if thats numbers in 26-ary (probably hexadodecimal or something like that), then i'm jsut waay too lazy to go through it and figure it out...

Not quite... Here's another problem that should hint to the answer for puzz#3

PUZZ#4:
If BILLY = 29CCP
Then 6FILD = (?)

I think that works also... I was just looking for the next in line for binary count (101,110,111) but if you give me the next 3 beyond 10,000 in yours I will hand out bonus points.
Edit : cancel bonus points, just noticed I told subdork "all future puzzles".

I'd like to know the formula, I cant see how 1000 could come after 100

Perhaps, 1,10,11,100,111,1000 ...?
