The second round on Only Connect is the Sequence Round, where the teams see up to three things that are in a sequence, and have to determine the fourth item in the sequence. The team gets more points the earlier they can work out the fourth thing.
Below we have a variation on this. You will see four numbers, and you have to work out the fifth number in the sequence.
- One
- Seven
- Eleven
- Twenty Seven
So what is the fifth number?
One is the smallest positive number with one syllable, Seven is the smallest positive number with two syllables, Eleven is the smallest positive number with three syllables, and Twenty Seven is the smallest positive number with four syllables.
Thus the fifth number is the smallest positive number with five syllables, which is Seventy Seven.
