What is special about the following sequence of numbers?
8 5 4 9 1 7 6 10 3 2 0

The numbers are in alphabetical order.
(eight, five, four, nine, one, seven, six, ten, three, two, zero)


Here is a series of numbers. What is the next number in the sequence?
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221


The next number in the sequence is 1113213211, because the rule for creating the next number is to simply describe the previous number. The first number is 1, or 1 (one) 1, so you get 11. To describe 11, you have two 1's, or 21. Now you have one 2 and one 1, so the next number is 1211. The solution is to simply continue describing the previous number using only numbers.
