Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Explanation?

Each line describes what was in the line before it

So if we start with the first line:
1

Then, the next:
11 - There was one one in the previous line

And so on:

21 - There were two ones in the last line
1211 - There was one two and one one
111221 - There was one one, one two and two ones

Its a silly puzzle but its often taught in computer courses as it is used as a simple compression algorithm for computer files.
