By the way, this puzzle does not require any heavy-duty math, so don't bother looking for any complex functional interrelationships between the numbers.
So, for example, if at any point the terms "square root", or "eigenvector" or "Riemann zeta-hypothesis" come to mind ... you're probably over thinking things.

You're looking for the name of a place in plain English. Numbers and punctuation just won't fly.Originally Posted by louisvillekid
My advice would be to just keep thinking about the puzzle, reading any hints amast in this thread, and maybe an idea will come to you.
It's just a lateral thinking puzzle that I thought was pretty fun and colorful. Try any answer that comes to mind, I promise no one will put a hex on you if you guess wrong. Really.
Anyway, I don't think think this puzzle is all that hard, but maybe I'll start a pole and see what other posters think.

I noticed that Capture It! as you titled this puzzle has 11 spaces if you count all letters, the space between words and the exclamation point . Does the 11th sequence you request involve this punctuation mark?

Is there not a text box at the bottom of the post?
What browser are you using?

if this is supposed to be a lateral thinking problem, i thought there is no true answer to a lateral thinking problem. but i don't think this is one, cause all the lateral thinking problems i've read before, are just a paragraph of words, theres no numbers involved.

I'm fairly certain that there's nothing inherent in the definition of a "lateral-thinking" puzzle that would preclude the use of numbers.

picoman's Fortune:
A student, in hopes of understanding the Lambda-nature, came to
Greenblatt. As they spoke a Multics system hacker walked by. "Is it
true," asked the student, "that PL-1 has many of the same data types as
Lisp?" Almost before the student had finished his question, Greenblatt
shouted, "FOO!", and hit the student with a stick.

Speaking as someone who has delved into the intricacies of PL/I, I am
sure that only Real Men could have written such a machine-hogging,
cycle-grabbing, all-encompassing monster. Allocate an array and free
the middle third? Sure! Why not? Multiply a character string times a
bit string and assign the result to a float decimal? Go ahead! Free a
controlled variable procedure parameter and reallocate it before
passing it back? Overlay three different types of variable on the same
memory location? Anything you say! Write a recursive macro? Well,
no, but Real Men use rescan. How could a language so obviously
designed and written by Real Men not be intended for Real Man use?
