I'm not gonna bother for the word ones, but for the vaguely mathsy ones:


Pricing method:

Connstanents are worth 2, vowels are worth 1.

Pears=8



The sequence:

I got that (where T=term):

T(x+1)=T(x)+{[T(x)+T(x-1)][T(x-1)+T(x-2)]...[(T2+T1)][T1+1]}

...which would look a lot nicer if the sequence started with 1... because then you could have [T1+T0] in the last bracket.

Anyway following that logic, the next term is:

677+[(677+26)(26+5)(5+2)(2+1)]=457653

salmon ?


Let consonants=c and vowels=v. Then:
11=3c+2v
23=7c+2v
8=2c+2v
10=3c+v
18=5c+3v
15=4c+3v
??=4c+2v

If 11=3c+2v and 10=3c+v, then:
3c+v+1=3c+2v
1=v

If v=1, then:
15=4c+3v
15=4c+3(1)
12=4c
c=3

If v=1 and c=3, then salmon (4c+2v) is:
4(3)+2(1)
12+2
14.
