Martin’s champagne brain teaser

stevie2013

I think the answer is 118 as the difference between 106 and 112 is 6, 107 and 113 is 6, 108 and 114 is 6 and 109 and 115 is 6.

Therefore if you add 6 onto 112 it is 118 so the next sequence would be 118, 119, 120 and 121.

Answer is 116. Starting at 1 you miss every 5th number the preceding number is 104

The only thing I can think of is 115, if it is a sequence of numbers where the reverse of the number is not less than the number (e.g. 601 is more than 106, but 011 is less than 110 so 110 is not in the sequence).

Not a very satisfying answer though...

Is the next number 126?

The second set went from 10? to 11? So I thought 12? would be next. The last numbers in the sequence might just be two sets that keep rotating, therefore leading to 126.

115.

They are house numbers on Jay Street, Nashville, Tennasee.

Why this is "charm"ing, I don't know.
Why Martin started the sequence at 106, I don't know.
Why Martin even cares about this street, I don't know.

Do I think this is the right answer? No, not really. But it's the best I can come up with.

I make it 116.
As the first 3 numbers go up by adding 1 then 4th number add 2, follow this sequence with next numbers. Makes 116.

when written in Roman numerals the omissions are strings of letters in order i.e. CX, CXV, CXVI. Next omission from list would be M, 1000

115.

Because the last number in each 3 digit number is never lower than the first number.

110 is missed out, then 120 would be missed out, then 130 through to 200 and 201 being missed out?

Or is that just silly?

I like your thinking, but what about L for 50? Surely CX would be allowed because it is not CLX?
