next no. is 312211
logic behind the puzzle:
write no. of occurence of digit in continuation from left to right then digit.
1st term is 1
so 2nd term is one 1 = 11
3rd term is two 1 = 21
4th term is one 2 and one 1 = 1211
5th term is one 1,one 2,two 1 = 111221
6th term will be three 1, two 2, one 1 = 312211
7th term will be one 3, one 1, two 2, two 1 = 13112221
and so on............

Divide $154 into a number of bags so that i can ask for any amount between $1 and $154, and you can give me the proper amount by giving me a certain number of these bags without opening them. What is the minimum number of bags that you will require ?
There are 10 bags full of coins, in each bag are 1,000 coins. But one bag is full of fake coins, and you forget which one.
But you do know that a genuine coin weigh 1 g, but fake coin weigh 1.1 g.
How can you identify the bag with the fake coins with just one weighing?
If I say "I always lie" than tell me m i telling the truth or lying?
Hi harender,
u have to numbered the bags ei, 1 to 10 than take one coin from first bag, 2 coins from second, three from third and so on --- 10 from tenth bag. weigh the total lot, u will have 55 coins and weigh should be 55 g if all coins are genuine, but now weight will more than 55 g, if it is 55.1 g than first bag is with fake coins, if it is 55.2 than second one is and so on
Your answer is right. Now try this...
If there are more than one bags of fake coins then how can you identify bags with fake coins with just one weighing?
2 bags contain some numbers. Number of numbers is prime.When we transfer 170 from bag 1 to bag 2 average of both bags increases by 1.If total sum of the numbers is 2004,find the number of numbers.
