*bump

[sirlearie]

sorry , *bump no help ?
doesn't appear to be arithmetic or geometric .

[gness]

Well I keep coming back to it. Driving me mad! If anyone solves it please don't keep me in the dark..x

Haven't got a scooby doo, but wonder if the graphic of a phone next to the question is a clue?

*bump means it goes back into the latest posts (On the right-hand side of the main page) so that more people have a chance to look at it and hopefully solve it.

It wasn't an answer by Calibax.

Sorry sirlearie, bump wasn't a clue. It's used to bump an unanswered question back into latest posts so more people can look at it. You're right, it's not arithmetic or geometric (or Fibonacci) but it does seem to be an ever increasing progression. I wonder if the the 12 items are a complete set and it does not continue afer 51. It's annoying me but I'll keep looking.

^Thanks Stephen_G :o)

hi calibax/stephen
didn't realise *bump.
it's great that you are looking as i have torn my hair out with this one . the phone image simply enlarges the puzzle when clicked .
seems it is not arithmetical , also can't be alphabet ( goes up to > 26 )
thanks .

where can i see the quiz please,like the others here i've been looking for ages x

[sirlearie]

hi all , thanks for your interest . it's their phone number !!!" 01872 263692

[mallyh]

i don't follow that "it's their phone number "

[nescio]

each digit in the phone number is the difference between successive numbers in the sequence, so given the phone number, the missing numbers are 31 and 49. Without knowing the phone number in advance, it is impossible to determine the missing numbers.

if it's a quiz by 'treasure trails' that information might have been useful

[mallyh]

no wonder we couldn't get it lol x

[Cloverjo]

Seems so obvious once you know ;)

[zebo]

What phone number? I only see the sequence.

[elliemay1]

zebo, the phone number is the difference between consecutive digits
