The Answer to my number sequence post

I mentioned in my earlier post that "maybe you'll win something" if you could correctly identify the next number in the sequence of numbers that I gave.

The sequence was called the Robert Morris sequence, or the look-and-say sequence.
Basically, you read aloud the sequence, starting with the first number, and speak the count of, and name, each digit. It started with the number "1"

1: one [number] one, yields
11: two [number] one, yields
21: one [number] two, one [number] one,
and so on.

Congratulations again to Kallee and Jax for correctly identifying the next number in the sequence. (Did you cheat?)

I tried to think of something for these winners, and decided that since I like to see people share my posts (in Google Reader) or comment on my blog, that I would take the next few days to promote their blogs and hopefully get another reader or another person to comment.

[BTW, if you didn't figure it out, the number post was my intellectual attempt at de-lurking (explained by MommaMia). Although there are several of you that I know read my blog, very rarely does anyone comment.]

So, keep on the watch, and I'll try to work my muggle magic.
