\n" ); document.write( "That is not mathematics.
\n" ); document.write( "You can spend as much or as little time on any problem like this trying to find a logical rule or pattern that produces the given sequence of numbers -- but realize that any answer you come up with is only a guess.

\n" ); document.write( "rationale: the sequence is the increasing sequence of integers that can be written without using the digits 8 or 9.
\n" ); document.write( "Note that the equivalent of that is to say the next number is 100 because the sequence is consecutive integers in base 8.
\n" ); document.write( "I would say that, since that answer fits perfectly, there is a HIGH PROBABILITY that it is the expected answer.... But we can't know for sure
