111221

Cool. You just 'say what you see' in the previous line...

I.e...

12111122

would be:

'One 1, One 2, Four 1's, Two 2's'

or

11 12 41 22 - or 11124122

Then

31 12 14 11 22

Geddit?

Hint: you only need to be barely numerate to get this one....



So Andy, do you qualify on the above point? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Andy - you're obviously too intelligent for lateral thinking puzzles...

Here's an old one, but at least it will give Andy a rest from his binary torture..

A man stops his car outside a building and immediately says 'I'm bankrupt'. How?

Does anyone remember where you had to crooss the river in a boat, and in the boat there was a chicken a fox anda farmenr i think, and you had to have 2 people/animals in the boat at the same time. But you couldnt leave the fox and the chicken together ir the fox would eat the chicken etc..
