My buddy found this site and in order to look at the guys code for help (it's a tutorial site) he needs to figure this out.
What is the next # in sequence
5, 12, 17, 29, 46, ?and...
5, 12, 21, 32, 45, 60, ?and finally...
oboe, fobo, ofob, cofo, ocof, ?Any ideas?

ok i figured out the first,
you just have to add the numbers up sequentially to get the next number i.e. 5+12 = 17
therefore 29+46=75 (and yes, i did pull out the calculator app for that final addition)
the last one, the letters are just shifting foreward and when they reach the end of the sequence they go to the next letter in the alphabet
so the answer should be, goco
i'm still trying to figure out the 2nd one, so gimme some time
p.s. i just registered, this post is what kicked me into it, other than that i just read the posts cause i was bored at work (webdesign)

the second one is add incrementing uneven numbers
+7+9+11...
so the next one in the sequence is 77

cool. got it.
actually i figured out the last one. i was looking at it all wrong. place them vertical and you see it repeats on diagonals.
thanks all.
