A football team captain's instructions? 
edit: I was forgetting, this reminded me of another quiz but I'll save it for when this one has got somewhere.

C'mon guys, try a little harder. Its a question about what this particular sequence of numbers might mean. It might be their relationship to one another, or relationship to some specific set of numbers in nature or politics or something real.

(1)4
(2)8
(3)15
(4)16
(5)23
(6)42
(1) x 2 x 2 - 1 + 1 +((2)-1) x 2 - (1)
i'll be honest with you guys and say that i have yet to pass algebra 1..(going on my third year, well if you count 8th grade, i suppose it's fourth)
and this probably has nothing to do with what buffy meant.   |

maybe the relationship is you can get to all of them (with the numbers in sequence) by multiplying, subtracting, or adding only ones and twos? |

well that makes no sense because the ones and twos are just labels i gave them, but who knows. i'm stopping here, i know nothing about mathematics.  |

Cheers,
