I'm super happy I got it wrong on the first try. Why? Because my first attempt at solving problems is often to get the wrong answer out of the way! Being wrong meant I now had way more data to work of off than had my first answer been right.

My first sequence: 8 4 2

I solved it a bit daftly after that still given that the rule was so simple. I assumed it had to do with increasing numbers but there was more of a pattern than just n+1.

Fun fun fun.
