It reminds me of one of the math problems where you had to figure out what the next sequence of numbers would be...
Actually, the answer is ANY number could be next.

There are an infinite number of infinite series, and one of them is certain to give your answer.

For example, what is next in the series:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,....?

Answer could be 10, but it could just as well be 7.8912345. Both answers are correct.

(That insight always impresses mathematically-inclined interviewers and examiners, but not, I suspect, the MENSA organisation.)

@CaptMorgan:
That was a very flattering review of NYGM that you gave above.

Thank you very much.
