Welcome back Freezy.

What has a ball, a chain, and starts with an F?

Just kidding, congrats are most certainly in order I think I got your numerical brain-twister:

Looking at 2 9 3 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 I noticed the 1st and 3rd digits increased by 1. Looking to see if the 2nd and 4th digits did the same, I noticed they did not. But, the 2nd and 4th-5th digits double. Continuing in this way gives:

2 9 3 18 4 36 5 7...

The red is all about the doubling while the black goes about its counting by 1.
But, I haven't run it though all the Enigma decoding ciphers yet...

Re: Riddles

Thanks Modest!

You did indeed get the numerical riddle. No deciphering needed.

Now that I've caught up to this thread, I'll try and post a good riddle soon...

I can be round, or I can be square
Without the cows, what would I wear?
You can come get me, or I can come to you
I'm perfect at parties for more than two
