# Finger sequence – find the continuation

Pick the correct continuation for the sequence.

Options:

Hint:

Two of the options are legal symbols in the sequence, two are not.

• are the examples all legal symbols in this sequence? – Jasen Jul 20 '19 at 5:06
• @Jasen Not necessarily. – jafe Jul 20 '19 at 8:26

I'll go with

C

because I'm squinting hard enough to see

rotated Roman numerals in a descending sequence.

Like so:

This also fits the hint of only two options being legal, since

 A = IX
B = IVI (illegal)
C = III
D = IIII (should be IV, since we are not a clock)

• This is the intended answer. Nice work! – jafe Jul 20 '19 at 21:41

I think it's

C

Because

You're counting binary top down, with finger = 1 and space = 0
So the sequence is:

1011 = 11 $$->$$ 1100 = 12 $$->$$ 1101 = 13

Next would be: 1110 = 14
Which equates to 'finger-finger-finger-space' which is picture C

• I think that the gaps between the fingers do matter. Also, the second element has a gap too. – EKons Jul 19 '19 at 17:39
• Gaps are covered in my answer, but I see what you mean about the second picture. There is some space there, though it's smaller than all other gaps. I immediately read those fingers as 'together' but could definitely be wrong. – TwoBitOperation Jul 19 '19 at 17:46
• the second sign has a gap, – Jasen Jul 20 '19 at 5:08
