For the record, I don't think the monster group is stupid--that's silly--but I would never have remembered the prime factors of its order, ordered first by decreasing powers and then by increasing magnitude.

Ahh, okay. I had looked at the prime decompositions, and noticed the progressing squared primes, but the Fibonacci part didn't click.

What is the purpose of "Yet another what's the next number"?
"Yet another what's the next number" is a mathematical puzzle that challenges individuals to find the pattern and predict the next number in a sequence.
How do you solve "Yet another what's the next number" puzzles?
To solve "Yet another what's the next number" puzzles, you need to carefully analyze the given sequence and look for patterns or relationships between the numbers. You can use mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, to find the missing number.
Can "Yet another what's the next number" puzzles have more than one solution?
Yes, "Yet another what's the next number" puzzles can have multiple solutions, especially if the given sequence is small and can have multiple patterns or relationships between the numbers.
Are there any strategies or tips for solving "Yet another what's the next number" puzzles?
One strategy for solving "Yet another what's the next number" puzzles is to start by looking at the difference or ratio between each number in the sequence. Additionally, you can try to group the numbers in different ways or use other mathematical techniques to find the pattern.
Are "Yet another what's the next number" puzzles used in real-life applications?
