| Nov 27, 2014 at 19:08 | comment | added | BmyGuest | @kokbira except that from the next number onward both series would be the same... | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 18:46 | comment | added | kokbira | I think it was the first random machine :p | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 17:58 | comment | added | BmyGuest | @SQB: Decoy only. One of the later hints would have gone rid of it. But I wanted a reference to ENGLISH as it only works in this language. | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 17:32 | comment | added | SQB | The Sunday before Boxing Day? That would be the Sunday before Christmas (Sunday, December 21st, 1817), so why specifically Boxing Day? | |

| Nov 27, 2014 at 14:24 | comment | added | BmyGuest | @skv: :c) Pretty, actually. But I will accept any valid solution and I would LOVE to see one which isn't mine. | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 14:23 | comment | added | BmyGuest | @No.7892142 It is my plan to reveal this during the follow-up hints, but I will give people at least a 24hrs period to solve it without. (Just to be fair on time-zones.) | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 14:22 | comment | added | skv | @BmyGuest how sure are you that there is only one unique solution to this? | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 14:17 | comment | added | No. 7892142 | @BmyGuest Would telling whether the date has a relevance be too much of a hint? | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 14:16 | comment | added | BmyGuest | +1 for not just skipping any number-series puzzle. ;-) (But wrong answer ;->) | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 14:15 | comment | added | Joe | @No.7892142 the number you input. It just loops. Before anyone gets upset, there's a reason it's a comment and not an answer ;-) | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 14:15 | comment | added | No. 7892142 | @Joe So you predict that the next numbers are...? | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 14:14 | comment | added | Joe | Just going for the victory condition: var input = window.prompt('Feed me'); var output = []; output[8] = '8,5,10,14,23,36,47,59,70,78,84,96,'; output[28] = '28,12,19,28,41,51,61,71,83,96,'; while (true) console.log( output[ input ] ); :-) | |
