In summary, all of the given sequences are simple sequences, have the digits "201" when concatenated, have odd-numbered entries that are odd, and have a total of 42 when the 25th through 35th digits are added. The common factor between all of these sequences is the number 7. The digits in each sequence are integers.

The digit 1

Well, they're all simple sequences...

n=(n-1)+7
n=(n-1)x7
n=(n-1)-3

- All of the numbers in the sequences are integers.
- If you concatenate the digits of the sequences, each one has the digits "201".
- Each sequence's odd-numbered entries are odd.
- If you concatenate the digits of each sequence, and add the 25th through 35th digits, you'll get the same total, 42.

I guess its the number seven and the digits being integers. Am I getting the right answer to the teasers?

I don't see what 7 has to do with the third sequence.
