Hi, I found the following series of numbers on the internet and, as usual, the question is 'what is the next number?' 10, 8, 16, 10, 2, 14 I can tell you that they also added the solution (140), but I have no idea why. Can someone help me? I really would like to know... Thx, Tine

Ooh, I love these things but can't seem to get it solved right away... If nobody finds it, I can put it in the newsletter ;-) Sofie Tine Blomme wrote:

* 0,1222n^6 - 2,7833n^5 + 26,139n^4 - 127,25n^3 + 328,74n^2 - 410,97n + 196* gives you this series in the interval n = [1,7], that was obvious right :-) to bad this isn't the solution (impossible to find this equation without the solution) my best guess it that it's something like fibonacci where you have to use the value of the previous two to figure out the next one.
