Well, I don't eat chocolate so Susan is welcome to it. But, you can't have
31 in base 3, that's why the 101 (3^2*1 + 3*0 + 1).
Anyway, thanks for the diversion.

Hi James

Great! That's it: 1010.

The sequence is right. It's 10 (ten) expressed as 10 to 3 based numbers and
the requested is the binary (2) based expression.
The only remaining item I can think of would be 1 based which is a joke as
that should be ten 1's: 
1111111111 - which equals just counting your fingers.

Should the chocolate go to Susan anyway?

Are you sure that sequence is correct? The only one I've seen that matches
would be:

10 11 12 13 14 20 22 101 1010

Hi all

We still have this open:

3. What is the next number in this series:
  10 11 12 13 14 20 22 31 ?

It's quite clever in fact. A true nerd thing suited for any programmer.
A hint: The requested item is the last one possible ...(?!!)
