But there are four 4s and five here?
Ooops yeah, sorry. In my hurry to show that you can't use another digit I forgot about that. Thanks. I corrected it.

Alright, good job so far!
Please use spoilers because maybe others want to solve it.
write
(spoiler) your text here (/spoiler)
but instead of ( and ) use [ and ] respectively

RE: Riddles, brain puzzles and mathematical problems
New short riddle. Find the next number in the sequence.
2, 3, 3, 5, 10, 13, 39, 43, 172, 177, ?
Explain your reasoning. There might be many possible answers.

RE: Riddles, brain puzzles and mathematical problems
Based on the short number riddle.
1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 26, 37, 49, 62, 76, 91, ?
Next number?
NOTE: It's just simple addition.

RE: Riddles, brain puzzles and mathematical problems
Let q 1,q 2,q 3,...q n natural numbers.
(Set of natural numbers is N={1,2,3,...})
Given that:
- q1/q2 = k
- q1/q2 = q2/q3 = ... = qn-1/qn
Find q 1/q n
NOTE: Only basic algebra is required. Nothing special.
NOTE 2: The solution is really, really short, but elegant.
