This is is a variation of one I saw on TV as a little kid.
1-2-3-0-3-3-1
What's the next number?
4! Oh my goodness, was the show Square One?!
The puzzle: It's Fibonnacci in base 5. (1+2=3, 3+2=5=>0, 3+0=3, 0+3=3, 3+3=6=>1)
I loved that show.
hahahhaa. Yes it was Square One. I didn't think anybody else watched that show. I got the puzzle from one of the Mathnet skits.
You got the puzzle except it would be more accurate to say that it's fibonnacci mod 5.
