This is pretty cool. Unfortunately, you can't test your answer because in order to receive the excel file I would need to e-mail you. But it's fun anyway. :) Put your answer and how long it took you to solve it in the comment section, if you'd like. (I'll tell you if you got it right, although, once you've solved it, my telling you is rather pointless.) It's a lot of fun to do amongst family members... Naturally Jimmy lorded his victory over us for a whole week. :P
It is said that engineers take 3 minutes to resolve this, architects 3 hours, doctors 6 hours, and maintainers/services/LRS/IMers probably forever.
Guess the 6th number, you can open the excel file by using the number as the password. Once you discover it, put your name into the spread sheet, save it and send the saved copy on. This is not a chain letter, there's no prize, and no jokes. Just a little bit of self satisfaction. You need the answer to open the attachment. What is the 6th number? (Don't forget to time yourself!)
1, 2, 6, 42, 1806, ______?
Dad: Solved it in 5 min.
Mom: Didn't feel like solving it.
Jimmy: Solved it in 2 min.
Me: I solved it in 2 1/2 min.
P.S. I don't know how accurate the above statement is...(it proved VERY inaccurate according to the above results.)
Have Fun! (And don't spoil the fun, if you've figured it out, by telling everyone else what the answer is.) :D

Took me about two minutes also. I haven't checked the answer, but I know what the pattern is, which is the same thing.
I got it in about 20 seconds. I got lucky because the pattern jumped out at me right when I focused on the early numbers.
And any doctor that would need 6 hours to solve that is scary. Remind me to not use him. :) Whoever wrote than likes to make people self-satisfied.
Lol, wow, Kyle. You definitely deserve a cookie when you come back. :)
I wonder how long it'd take Drew, him being an ENTJ and all. :D
I got it in about 3 minutes. I didn't time myself- give or take a few seconds.
