...is up, as of now. 8pm NST

and may I say. Dratted numbers!!!

P.S. If anyone would like to leave a hint so I can get in on the prize, that'd be great... though likely, even the hint won't help. *le sigh*

What is the next number in this sequence?

22272
24742
25862766
2674

I hate these.

[BrunosisShale]

Geometric or arithmetic, I wonder? Neither, it seems =/

[hakuryu_86]

it seems so wierd that the 3rd on has so many numbers compared to the other 3. To me, doesn't look geometric or arithmatic in any way as well, so I just wemt with my instinct and used logic

[Iheartmyaisha]

Well, all I've managed to make sense of ANY relationship at all is by multiplying each digit in the number.

For example:

22272 --> 2*2*2*7*2 = 112


I did this with each of the numbers and came up with the following:

22272 --> 112
24742 --> 448
25862766 --> 241920
2674 --> 336


Now, as you can see, each one of these numbers is a multiple of 112.

112 = 1*112
448 = 4*112
241920 = 2160*112
336 = 3*112

After that point, I'm lost as to what comes next.
Anyone get past here?

I got those too, and I tried rearranging the letters and it doesn't make sense

[Iheartmyaisha]

I found the answer... It really does have something to do with the placement of letters on a phone. Surprisingly enough, the 112 thing is just a HUGE coincidence. It works with the next number in the sequence, too. It factors in 6 times.
