I want to play a game.

About a year ago, my maths textbook had a number puzzle in it, but didn't provide the solution. After mulling over it on and off, I figured it out today!

I wanna see who can figure out the sequence here, without using google or wikipedia, I won't be able to stop you, but it spoils the fun.

The sequence:
1, 11, 21, 1211

What comes next?

(A tip: Say what you see.)

    I know the pattern...3112 is next! I win!


    EDIT: No cheating, by the way, just hard-core problem solving.

    DOUBLE EDIT: Then next is 131221, then 132231! And next....232221! I'm so happy I got it! >=)

    I'm positive I know how it works, but I'm not sure how to "put it".

    I get the numbers, but I don't get what order your supposed to put them in.

    I know this, but I'm not going to answer and pretend I just figured it out just to make myself look all smart-like.

    After you get it it's pretty obvious though.

    Next is 312211.
    Read that there's one one, one two, then two ones.
    (Sorry if that makes no sense)

    "One one" and "One two" are the names of race horses. Each has won one race.

    We need some new puzzles that aren't the same type. And don't give a hint right away.

    Two ones. (21)
    One two one one (1211)

    Close enough. I had "eleven" and "twelve" in mind. It's a little harder if you just say racers.

    Solution:
    Eleven is a race horse
    Twelve is one, too.
    Eleven won one race.
    Twelve won one, too.

    I'm a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. Do I fall under the category of needing to shut up, or can I keep talking?

    If that applied to Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series fans, the majority of the internet would be required.

    42=√(AΠ)-->42=√A√Π
    1764=AΠ
    A=1764/Π
    A≈561.5
