Well, I'm fucked if I know how to work it out.

Though clearly in this one, the most intelligent take longest.
Just seen the answer, and I have to say, I wouldn't have got that in a million years.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Lol, I don't feel dumb, infinite or otherwise. Funny thing now I see why young children would get it, they haven't been trained as much about how to use a number so the shapes are just as important as the concepts behind them.

Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.

Once I realised that it wasn't a number pattern; and thus a riddle instead, it took me around 1.2 seconds. I suck at numbers but rock at riddles.
