On the way to the treasure halls of Mount Tangbit, Duraz and his faithful hound Lur must cross a river of boiling mud. There are numbered stepping stones in the river, but the guardians of the treasure have put up a warning sign:

Traveler, beware!
Follow the number pattern of the red stones or you will sink!
Duraz can see that the first three stones are painted red and numbered 8, 16, and 31, but the rest of the stones are unpainted! They are scattered through the mud and have these numbers:

7, 17, 35, 48, 60, 61, 64, 93, 117, 120, 128, 197, 230, 234, 310, 320, 338, 410, 455, 560, 640, 661, 667, 751, 794, 800, 904, 960
To cross the river, Duraz and Lur must step on five more stones after the first three. But first, Duraz must figure out the number pattern.

Which numbers should Duraz and Lur step on?

Which numbers should Duraz and Lur step on? NO NO NO! Chris! You were suppose to put all the words in BLACK and the number 8,16 and 31 in RED! -sigh-

:joke: ( It's true, though. :p ) :lol:

I did a little bit of poking aound and I've come to a conclusion that the first two numbers are 93 and 234.

Yes, no, maybe so?

Mysty Eyes is correct, the answer is: 60, 117, 230, 455, 904

Here is how you get the answer:
8*2-0=16
16*2-1=31
31*2-2=60
60*2-3=117
117*2-4=230
230*2-5=455
455*2-6=904
