Oh heck, I used to love this stuff when i was twelve. Now it would take me twelve years to solve it.

At first I thought the initial lines might be binary, but 112 sure ain't binary. So maybe its some weird Base X math that I've never understood. Yet the final lines seem to be Arabic numerals decremented by one. I've tried looking at it by different columns and left to right. Can't see any pattern at all. Even with the limited choices displayed in the poll box that I later looked at, I still can't figure it out.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary arithmetic, and those who don't.

p.s. I voted for 20.

Personally, I think it would have been easier to solve if no options were given in the poll. Just have people state what they think the answer is. Once I saw the available choice of answers in the poll, I knew what the correct answer is and even why.

The poll shouldn't have given away a lot since it included every single option between the extrema.
