Find the next number in this sequence..

1, 11, 21, 1112, 3112, 211213, 312213, 212223, 114213, 31121314, 41122314, 31221324, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314, 21322314

The last number you have should be: 114213

Therefore, the next number is 31121314. What do I win?

:thumbsup:

I just realized the answer is googleable =/

Good job nonetheless, I'll assume you used your brains 🙂

Yep, no google for me. 🙂

EDIT: After reading KLin's response, it's awesome how 21322314 has the recursive property of this sequence. It's something that should be in Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. I wonder how if this sequence converges when you take any integer as the first number.

Starting with any number 1-4 you end up with that same sequence 🙂

I've yet to try 5-9 or 0 though..let's see...

Nice..

Maybe it converges to the same thing except that the 2's are replaced by 5's? I dunno, just a guess.
 
5, 15, 1115, 3115, 211315, 31121315, 41122315, 3122131415, 4122231415, 3132132415, 3122331415, 3122331415

If I'm not mistaken.
