    A Fun Math Problem

    Try to find the next line in this pattern:
    1
    11
    21
    1211

    I'm going to make three posts, the second one is another two lines of the pattern, the third is the solution
    enjoy

    havent looked at your comments yet toconfirm my reasoning.
    \"America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.\"
    \"The reason we are so pleased to find other people\'s secrets is that it distracts public attention from our own.\"
