Default Re: if you get this you are smart

Answer in white:
<font color="white"> This is the see and say sequence, (1, 11, 21, 1211, etc.) coupled with a strange requirement that you also multiply numbers of the sequence by ascending primes. Thus, 1, followed by 2*1. Then 11, followed by 3*11. Then 12, 5*12, etc. I will comment that I'm not entirely sure how you swing 0 in the see and say sequence, but we want 60 in see and say, so that's probably 1610, multiply it by 17 to get 27370, and then 1211. So, my answer is 1610, 27370, 1211. EDIT: If you aren't already familiar with the sequence 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, etc., I think this is going to be insanely hard.</font>
