    I presume this is some type of puzzle based on the relationship between successive numbers and not something silly like the numbers of different dishes on a Chinese takeaway menu?

    Do the decimal points appearing after each number have any significance?

    Numbers in progression with an increasing number of letters in each number name, I could not find a number after 70 with 8 letters till I got to 1000

    I agree with 1000 (at least think I do) but it could be argued that it reads as one thousand. So I just went with the first 8 letter number

    Yes, i was a bit doubtful about the fact that we usually say a thousand or one thousand, but all the other numbers were in numerical order.

    You are on the right lines. Forget numerical progression though.

    That's a right answer! or nineteen or any eight letter number. Thousand is not a number.

    Hmph, so why were all the others in order then?

    Red Herrings, as the numbers in themselves were immaterial.

    Don't be such a cry baby. :D

    Hmmm... Not sure that a problem that has multiple solutions is very fair. If you had chosen the smallest numbers with 3, 4, 5 letters etc. the sequence would be 1 4 3 11 15 13 17 ...

    I did ask what COULD come next.

    But, look, it's supposed to be a bit of fun.

    They are all American "celebrities".

    True enough, Audrey was born in Belgium. I seldom get caught up in the cult of personality but I'd walk over hot coals for Audrey Hepburn.

    As for the question I have no idea. :(

    Correct! They all managed to achieve something. Now all I need to know is what did they achieve.

    Would that have been the character played by Gene Kelly in a TV series? The answer might therefore be Manhattan.
