The missing one is 8192, I think. I'll get the rest...

Re: One more...

Give me the next two numbers in this sequence...

6, 28, 496, ...

--The Sigil

Bonus points for giving me the 6th.
Huge props for getting to the 7th.

8128, 33550336, 8589869056, 137438691328, 2305843008139952128, 2658455991569831744654692615953842176

mad props to euler and euclid

If three people call defeat on this riddle I'll give the answer:

Once a turn always,
twice a turn rarely,
thrice a turn never.

I think I've got it! How many months go by during a lunar cycle? It may not be the right answer, but I think it fits.

When is 2 + 2 != 4?

You're doing arithmetic in base 3, so 4 isn't a valid symbol?

Here's another numbers one... fill in the missing number and give me the next eight numbers in the sequence.
1,024
{missing}
65,536
78,125

2^10 = 1024
3^9 = 19683
4^8 = 65536
5^7= 78125
6^6=46656
7^5=16807
8^4=4096
9^3=729
10^2=100
11^1=11
12^0=1
13^(-1)=1/13

I will call this correct since I believe PC is thinking properly but typing backwards. It lunar cycles per month not month's per lunar cycle what is being turned are the pages of a calander (assuming a normal monthly calander).

No one is even close with the 2 + 2 != 4.

No one is even close with the 2 + 2 != 4.

Oh, I think explaining it as base 3 makes perfects sense. It may not be what you were thinking of, but it is right. That's also what I immediately thought when I saw it. 2 + 2 = 11, in base 3.

 

[Drawmack]

Steele,
It is an explenation but not the explaination. Allow me to rephrase.

When, in base 10, is 2 + 2 != 4?

 

[thegreatbuddha]

Im rounding off at 2 decimal places....

1/9 = .11

9/9 = 1

1 = .99

1 + 1 = 2

.99 + .99 = 2

2 + 2 = 4

1.98 + 1.98 !=4

It's a stretch, but I'm tired and it's the best I can do right now.
