So, the sequence 1,2,4,8,7,5 is infinite as long as there is no number higher than 9. I hate 10 because it is 1! What about 3,6,9? PLEASE tell me! Sorry, the answer to your question is 7--duh!

(bold mine)

I think I've spotted part of your problem.

There is no number higher than 9. So, 8 + 8 = 16 or, 1 + 6 = 7--DUH! Just like 16 + 16 = 32. Not so fast as 3 + 2 = 5 or, 7 + 7 = 14, 1 + 4 = 5 as there is no higher number than 9. Then 32 + 32 = 64. There is no number higher than nine so 6 + 4 = 10. There is no number higher than nine so, 1 + 0 = 1 and 64 + 64 = 128, 1 + 2 + 8 = 11 there is no higher number than nine so, 1 + 1 = 2. Get it? It's a fun toy to play with and it is infinite. 1,2,4,8,7,5,1,2,4,8,7,5 it never ends.
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
