· Each sequence of numbers is a verbal representation of the sequence that comes before it. So, for example, starting from one, the next sequence would be "one 1" or "11". It will be followed by the sequence "two 1" or "21" and so on.
· The first digit is 1 (amount) "1" (number from 0 to 9). So if you say "One 1", next number will be "11". Now it turned out "two 1" or "21". After that "one 2 and one 1", which gives us 1211. Then "one 1, one 2 and two 1", which gives us 111221 and so on.
