AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a sequence of numbers where each row describes the count of digits in the previous row. The sequence starts with 2 and progresses through various transformations, with participants attempting to deduce the next row. The logic behind the sequence is that each subsequent row is a verbal description of the previous row's digits. For example, the first row "2" is described as "one 2" in the second row, and this pattern continues. Participants emphasize the importance of not revealing the answer outright to encourage others to solve it independently. The next number in the sequence is identified as "1113122113121113222112," which follows the established pattern of description.

Oh right, sorry about that. As long as we don't spoil the logic though, people can keep trying to figure it out for themselves anyway. :)
 
No worries. :smile:
 
If you don't mind me asking, how did you do it?
 
This one pops up from time to time in the Brain Teasers forum.
Answer: Not an answer, just how to read the rows.
Except for the first row, each row is a manifest for the row above. That is the first row has one 2 in it. The second row has one 1 and one 2 in it. etc.
