Should we segregate the forums
Why post a problem if you're going to accuse the person who solves it of cheating? If you think it's impossible for anyone to solve then don't post it.
Just a self fulfilling prophecy.
For negative folks: Can't solve it, you're stupid. Solve it, you're cheating.
For positive folks: Can't solve it, you're honest. Solve it, you're smart.
It's more of a test of the personality of the person who posted the test.
Well, even if I googled it (which I didn't) I also explained the answer.

You must have Googled that too.
That's what Google told me.

Here's an "impossible" one.
If someone solves it I'll give them a cookie:
What comes next?
First is pi (circle's ratio of circumference to diameter) which is about 3.141
Second is phi (golden ratio) which is about 1.618
Third is e (euler's number) which is about 2.718
Of course all 3 of these are so called "irrational" numbers, meaning the decimal goes on forever (and it can't be expressed in the form of a fraction).

Hey, that's cheating!
The answer turns out to be... there is a "simple" process to create a formula that will show you what comes next... and since this formula works for any size list, it means for the 4th number you can pick any number you want! After that you can use the process to create a formula that will produce such a sequence.
