111221
312211
13112221
1113213211
The first row - 1 - contains one 1 -> 11
11 contains two 1's -> 21
21 contains one 2, one 1 ->1211
1211 contains one 1, one 2, two 1's ->111221
etcetera.
Building on that theory, it would go

111221 contains three 1's, two 2's, one 1-> 312211
312211 contains one 3,one 1,two 2's two 1's->13112221
13112221 contains one 1,one 3,three 2's, one 1,

therefore the next sequence of numbers would be ->1113213211

2. A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason
It doesn't collapse, you have driven a half mile, and you used some gas, so you subtract the gas used from the total weight of the truck

3.What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?
queue - q

1.What goes up and down, but still remains in the same place?

2. A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason
nope, max load the bridge can carry is calculated by the amount of vehicles that fit on the bridge along with average weight.
oh and the feul used by the truck will most likely be about equal to the bird's weight
(unless it's Roc we're talking about here)

3.What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

queue ---> -4 letters = q

One mile bridge? is the truck amile long? lol and if the truck itself is 14000 pounds, then the driver and everything inside the truck will weigh it over.

[Swindler]

Ok, lets get some hard shit in here:

What gets bigger and bigger everytime you take something from it?

[Evil_Venom]

Exactly. When this question is written out then the answer is 59 and when it is said it can be either. Considering this is a forum it is probably a good idea not to try and trick people with homophone's.

1.How many times can you subtract the number 50 from 1000??
Once, after that, you can't subtract 50 from 1000 anymore since it will be less than 1000.

2.Complete the series.
9 = 4,
21 = 9,
22 = 9,
24 = 10,
8 = 5,
7 = 5,
99 = 10,
100 = 7,
16 = 7,
17 = ??
9, it's just the number of letters to spell it.

A bat and ball cost $1.10
If the bat costs $1 more than the ball then
What does the ball costs?

Awnser:

Spoiler!

'The bat was a dollar more than the ball.
This means they both started at the same cost so 1.10 -1 = 10
10/2 = 5
10 is dived by two because there are two items the bat and ball.
