Another little game?

@PuppetOnStrings :) the answer to everything is always 42, you should know that ;)
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@PuppetOnStrings I will wait a little bit more, people are still working hard on the solution, if none is found I will post the answer

@PuppetOnStrings @Caprice@wackidywack@lilida@puck61@MichaelT@Quizzical
101011 = 43
010111 = 23
101110 = 46
011101 = 29
111010 = 58
110101 = 53
101011 = 43

I hope this makes it clear, this is a circular sequence,but thank you all for participating, you were all fantastic.

62, 35.......incremented graduation and decrease of first second and third number in series.
the number added and subtracted increase at an incremented rate.
Or the pattern is coincidental and you're just messing with out heads.................🤔...........😝
.........or, I am the worst mathematician on earth, which is another distinct possibility.

@puck61 I love the great rules that people are coming up with. I am not trying to mess with you, I want people to find a simpler rule. :)
@sumojumo My brain has no left hemisphere to speak of.
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@puck61 Since you tried to solve this, that indicates that you have, and the attempt was great..

@Miram those numbers are related to the original sequence, they are exactly the difference between successive elements.
Miram · 31-35, F
@sumojumo Not really. The elements aren't being calculated successively but randomly. Just try to solve it her way on your own and you'll understand what I mean.
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@Miram 😃, oh dear lord, yes I missed it, the next two numbers should be 53 and 106 based on that system. Ok, now I see, thank you for catching this one. I think the pattern surprised me, so I did not check thorougly.

How much memory that this algo have? is every number result of just the previous one?
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@lilida just the previous number
lilida · 26-30, F
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@lilida unfortunately that does not work, e.g. the first one is 43, the second one is 23, so your rule does not explain that
lilida · 26-30, F
@sumojumo i tough the frist two are just given numbers to start the sequence
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@lilida that is good thinking, but only the first one is given, others are generated from the previous
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@wackidywack no, sorry
wackidywack · 26-30
@sumojumo damn it, am I close at least 😋
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@wackidywack :) well I have no idea, depends on what you think the rule is. Otherwise, the numbers are not close to the right ones :)
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@PuppetOnStrings something is true in this answer, but still not quite. What rule did you use?
🌹.. Thanks for the quiz.

@SW-User no, sorry, that is not it. What would the rule be for these two?

@SW-User that is a relatively complex rule, but due to Occam's razor I have to say that there is a simpler rule. But kudos for this rule :)
MichaelT · 41-45, M
The first number 43 is confusing me.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
36 and 52
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@Quizzical no, but I am really curious about the rule that you came up with, it turns out that people here are very creative, and i would like to such a bit of that creative energy ;)
