Hi John (and Ervin) That's right! A line describes the line above: how many of first digit, how many of next different digit, etc. To me, this would mean that the first line should be 0 ... Re 1. It contains an error as it was localized. That's a hint. In English the values are: - Jan is 55 - Apr is 35 - Oct is 50 - Nov is 55 However, it is possible to create a formula building the original values from a mix of month values, quarter values and half-year values - should you wonder. Re 3. It is completely numeric, no funny tricks as in 1. As a bonus for Susan, here's one you actually can sit down an calculate on a piece of paper - or create a For/Next loop on the computer to do the dirty work: U, V, X, Y, and Z represent five different digits. Find these to satisfy the formula: UVXYZ * 4 = ZYXVU /gustav >>> John.Clark at niagaracounty.com 16-09-2005 19:20 >>> 2 = 13112221 correct? I think I did one similar to this years back. If so, it would then be followed by 1113213211 John W. Clark >>> Gustav at cactus.dk 9/16/2005 11:22 AM >>> Hi all Quiet Friday? Forget about a relaxing weekend. These three tasks will keep you busy! 1. How much is September if: - Jan is 45 - Apr is 35 - Oct is 50 - Nov is 55 2. What is the next number in this system: 1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 3. What is the next number in this series: 10 11 12 13 14 20 22 31 ? /gustav
