Soooo for all you amazing people out there. Whoever can solve these two riddles get's a free plugin from me. It can be as large as you want. Idgaf. (I don't give a fuck)


Riddle #1(Solved):
What's the next number in the following sequence? 1, 15, 81, 101, 818...
Hint:
The sequence above has something to do with the following sequence: 4, 3, 5, 7 (repeat)
This riddle has multiple valid answers.
Solution:
1. Convert the numbers to a vocable (words)
The output would be:
one (3)
fifteen (7)
eighty one (10)
one hundred one (15)
eight hundred eighteen (22)
2. Grab the amount of characters in each string. As you can see, the difference between each string length is: 4, 3, 5, 7.
3. As stated in the hint, I added (repeat) at the end of the hint sequence. Therefore the hint sequence would now be: 4, 3, 5, 7, 4, 3, 5, 7, 4... etc.
4. Knowing that, we can now find out next number. The number has to have 26 characters in it.
5. Acceptable answers: 1800, or one thousand eight hundred (26 characters)

Riddle #2 (Solved):
What's the next number in the following sequence? 8, 17, 7, 51, 331...
Hint:
The sequence above has something to do with the following sequence: ...64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
This riddle has an infinite amount of valid answers.
Solution:
1. Convert the numbers in the sequence to binary.
2. The new sequence will be: 1000, 00010001, 0111, 00110011, 000101001011
3. Pay attention to the amount of 1s in each value. It goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
4. So the solution would be any binary number with six 1s in them.
Satan got 442. When converted to binary, 442 is equal to 000110111010, and that has six 1s in it. He got it correct!


Good luck to you all.


Note: To all those who think there isn't a pattern, there is. You just haven't looked at the sequence from the right angle. As for the 2nd riddle, you're going to need a bit (no pun intended) of computer science knowledge.

Finding sequences like those is the most annoying thing I've ever had to do in my life. I won't bother.

Not hating btw I just don't like these things :>
Gl to people trying to figure this out.
Well, I don't really even know why I'm doing this. I've just grown quite fond of cryptography quite lately.
