This ones a thinker!  We went over it in math class today.  The first correct answer gets 100 points.  All you have to do is figure out the next number in the sequence.

100
500
1
50
1000
5

Oh yeah, you have to be able to explain your answer

There dosen't appear to be a sequence??

Other than the first digit.  It seems if you follow the placement of zeros, or the multiplication of the descending numbers, the next logical number would start with a 2?

I'm confused!

The next answer is either PI, or zero.

FOTBR's rule of PI:  Its all equal to PI.  Especially pecan.  With ice cream.

FOTBR's rule of zero:  Everything equals zero.  'Cuz thats exactly how many of your worldly possesions you're taking with ya into the afterlife.  So have fun with what ya got while ya got it!

next answer is rationally ten, then 5000.

Possible sequence is

100
500
1
50
1000
5
10
5000
1
50000
10000
5
1000
50
1
5000
10
5
(then it repeats)
100
500
1

It seems to be 1 and 5 alternatin in groups of three where the first twoo have 4 zeroes between them, and the last one has no zeroes, the established sequence gives the zero distribution pattern.

If I were better at math I'd be able to tell what the hell this represents. Me thinks its a three statement equation set equal to a constant, where at least two of thoe statements are variables.

Take away the square root, still Pi + C.
Take away the cscx, still Pi + C.
Take awaythe 2Pi over x quantity squared, still Pi + C.
