Yes, Gold Star for Phil. I had neglected to go back and read the original question.

Ah ha! That was my argument at first as well. Note the wording of the original question: “the next three” and “final”. Never once implying that there weren’t number in between. =)

40 50 60 are numbers with only two syllables; that must not be it.

So, after sitting here, reciting numbers aloud for like two minutes, it dawned on me.
They are the numbers that have only two syllables.

I don’t know either, but I can’t say I’m not a little annoyed.

well 13 and 30 sound similar and so do 19 and 90…but I don’t hear a connection either.

Well, now we have the answer and I still don’t see or hear the connection. Guess you’ll have to spell it out for me!

8 is not in the sequence, 18 is not the last.

The math whiz says 8, or 18 as the last number. the next three numbers, no clue.
