Yeah, probably 99.9% of people won't get this, but it has less to do with patterns I think (spoiler)

What are the next two numbers in this sequence?
110, 20, 12, 11, 10, ?, ?.
110, 20, 12, 11, 10, ?, ?.
110 = 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^0 = 6 (base 2)
20 = 2*3^1 + 0*3^0 = 6 (base 3)
12 = 1*4^1 + 2*4^0 = 6 (base 4)
11 = 1*5^1 + 1*5^0 = 6 (base 5)
10 = 1*6^1 + 0*6^0 = 6 (base 6)
? = 6 (base 7)
? = 6 (base 8 )
They really don't teach this stuff anymore, though. At least, not widely. If you don't know about bases, there is basically (no pun intended

Based on the view count I would say at least half the people have decided to cheat

That's going to bug me for ages now.

You would need a good base in math to figure it out. *NM*

I'm a little confused by this. *kind of spoiler*

I thought of that, but that doesn't seem to lead anywhere, so dropped that line of thought...

I never like base change ones, let me see if I can remember one...

To save confusion, anyone who gets that just give it in base 10 *NM*

Ths is not a logic problem. It's a puzzle.
