This is an interesting puzzle. It took me a good ten or so minutes to figure out. Find the next number in the series:  EDIT: I'll give the solution in a day or two if nobody figures it out. |

FYI, this puzzle is ridiculously easy.
As proof that I know the solution, I offer the following:

Yeah, it is once you realize the "trick." Kind of like Petals Around the Rose.

I guess the way I think just naturally catches this "trick" without really trying--there are probably other puzzles of similar difficulty that I'd have a much harder time with.

Actually, you'll need 14 numbers... And yes, it is not that hard to find out.

No room in the house exceeds a length of twenty-five feet, let alone fifty feet, let alone fifty-six and a half feet, and yet Chad and Daisy's voices are echoing, each call responding with an entirely separate answer. In the living room, Navidson discovers the echoes emanating from a dark, doorless hallway which has appeared out of nowhere in the west wall.

My answer is the same as Bram's. Took me about 10 minutes. Fun.
Next number should be 13211321321112131221123113112 22113111221131221 unless I broke my head trying to keep track.

Duh. I should have got that one. I always make the mistake of looking at these things from a Maths perspective.
