Guess what the next number in this sequence is:

[Logan]

42

If you don't know what that means, then you don't get the honor of being called a nerd.

EDIT2: I just realized this is for linguistics...I'll ask my friend

I don't think any of this has to do with linguistics. None of what we learned in the quarter had anything to do with guessing the next number in a sequence.

If it's any help, she had a similar problem on the midterm.

guess what the next number in the following sequence is:
7, 15, 2, 12 , 9, __

I guessed 27 figuring you're adding every other number (7+2=9, 15+12=27) and got credit for my answer. She underlined and italicized 'guess' so maybe they're just gibberish numbers and she just wants us to guess.

I'm thinking either 16 or 21. Post when someone knows the actual answer.

Reassign them to their corresponding letters of the alphabet and they spell L,A,B,Y,R,I,N,T. The next letter is H, so the next number is 8.

Also, 42.

EDIT: see, it does have to do with linguistics (well somewhat)

1337! Wait, that's very unreasonable as an answer...

Awesome. That makes so much sense now. She was always used labyrinths, goblins, someone named Hoggle stealing jewels, and a guy named Jareth in her examples. I think it has to do with one of her favorite movies.

I say it will be odd. Looking at the pattern, it is completely possible.

Samania, me or goatseforever?

 

[gavnasty]

Wow, and the other pattern spelled GOBLINS

 

[dabmasta]

The alphabet thing makes sense. But what is 42 on the alphabet?

16th(42-26) too lazy to see what it is

 

[Dene]

LMAO your teacher has a problem.

 

[Ranzha]

The answer is 8.

It's quite simple, actually.
Each of the numbers is assigned a letter of the alphabet.
1 would be "A", 2 would be "B", etc.

The word that is to be spelled is "labyrinth", but the "h" was missing.
Thus, 8. QED.

Ya, you were ninja'd several posts ago.


It's still amazing that nobody figured it out until then. I finally know what they're talking about with those sequences!

I saw the post, but I felt like it needed expansion.

 

[Raffael]

yor're teacher seems to have a good taste in movies.
'Labyrinth' is one of the best movies ever made.

you'd propably have gotten points for '42' as an answer as well.
