What is the next number?.
7, 16, 25, 34, 43, 52, 61, 70, 77, 106...?

In summary, the conversation discusses a sequence of numbers that begins as an arithmetic sequence but then becomes unpredictable. The participants suggest different solutions and eventually come to the conclusion that the next number in the sequence is 115.

Wow, that makes no sense. It starts of as a nice, clean arithmetic sequence. And at the end it goes on doing strange things...
I guess I need to think some more about it...
Does the next number end with a 5?

Bah. Saw it right away.
There are a few possible answers, but best answer is 115.

Ah, I get it now 
Is it 115?

I think I get it. Is it adding 7 to the number in octal representation, so that the next number would be 115?

FAQ: What is the Pattern in this Sequence?
What is the pattern for finding the next number in a sequence?
The pattern for finding the next number in a sequence depends on the specific sequence. Some common patterns include adding or subtracting a constant number, multiplying or dividing by a constant number, or following a specific mathematical formula.
How do I know if my answer for the next number is correct?
To confirm if your answer for the next number is correct, you can use the pattern to check if it fits with the previous numbers in the sequence. You can also use a calculator to see if your answer follows a specific mathematical formula.
Is there only one correct answer for the next number in a sequence?
No, there can be multiple correct answers for the next number in a sequence. This is because there can be different patterns or rules that can be followed to find the next number. However, some patterns may be more commonly accepted than others.
Can I use guess and check to find the next number in a sequence?
Yes, you can use guess and check to find the next number in a sequence. This method involves making an educated guess based on the pattern and checking if it fits with the previous numbers in the sequence. If it does not fit, you can adjust your guess until you find the correct answer.
What happens if I cannot find a pattern to determine the next number in a sequence?
If you cannot find a pattern to determine the next number in a sequence, it is possible that the sequence may not have a clear pattern. In this case, the sequence may be considered random or there may be multiple possible patterns that can be followed.
