The answer...
Then... the answer is?
forgive me, I am n00b and I bad understanding hahaha

We haven't got the answer yet!

I was thinking at first it would fall under the geometric sequence pattern which is ar^n-1 but nothing seemed to work for me maybe someone else could give it a try. I also tried the arithmetic sequence tn=a(n-1)d but it obviously doesn't follow a straight pattern number wise.
hey i was thinking something to do with prime numbers... Primella is the ship name? and 8 letters long... i have an exam in an hour so i will try and figure it out later
but they are not all prime numbers
only 571 and 577
there have been hints to use columns
yeah i know... i was thinking somehow differences, multiples that create or something... i dunno its just a guess. i spose trying to connect the game
We figured out the column thing - check back some pages but it was argued that this wasn't a pattern as it isn't repeatable - but who knows.

omg i think i have it and i will try to explain as best i can:
first number is 408
take the second and third number and add the first of the second number, i will show:
408
085
857
571
713...... and so on, there will be a pattern.
if you look at my first three numbers, they are the same going down also.....
so i go to the last number 664, and it should be the same going down:
664
6
4
so you take the next two numbers, which is 64 and the next number to add would be the 6???

Hmmm, You lost me here. I got like a little bit of it but once you came to the '857' part, I got lost.
Lenny
I got lost aswell...
I don't understand.... So you're just taking the numbers
408, 571, 332, 377, 577, 989, 664
and going
408, 571, 332, 377, 577, 989, 664
408, 571, 332, 377, 577, 989, 664
408, 571, 332, 377, 577, 989, 664
etc?
I don't see a pattern...
darn, i think i wrote it wrong, let me check.....
OH! I get it!
408
085
857
571
713
133
332
323
237
377
775
757
577
779
798
989
896
966
664
(64?)
(4??)
Still doesn't help..
lenny
Unfortunately you could probably do that with any set of numbers, but it's a nice try.
Yes it does help. You go back to the beginning to get your last number (4). The answer would be 644.
Why would you go back to the first number?
so...
it would be
<5>77
9<8>9
66<4>
therefore 584?
