Re: Sequences

Hello, Cari!

This is a silly one . . .


Find the next three terms of the following sequence:
. . \(\displaystyle 3,\,3,\,5,\,4,\,4,\,3,\,5,\,5,\,4,\,3,\,6,\,6,\,8,\,8,\,7,\,...\)

Consider the English words for the positive integers: \(\displaystyle \:\text{one, two, three, four, five, six, . . .}\)
. . and consider the number of letters in each word.

The next three are: \(\displaystyle \:\text{sixteen, seventeen, eighteen}\;\;\Rightarrow\;\;7,\,9,\,8\)
