Nasty Little Numbers

[RyanJ]

Hi everyone!

 

I've been trying to solve this for a while and with no success ( suck at logic puzzles ) so I thought I'd post it here for you guys to try.

 

The following digits are in an order.

 

What you need to work out is what order are they in.

 

0 2 3 6 7 1 9 4 5 8

 

If you work it out please post a hint for the rest of us mere-mortals

Hm.

 

Well, some notable things:

- the sequence is simply the first ten numbers; they are just mixed up.

- there are three pairs that are not mixed up: 23, 45, 67.

 

I would suggest looking at things such as phone pads, number pads etc.

 

I would also not discount the idea that these numbers form a circle, i.e. they wrap around.

I worked this out last night (one of those "I woke up with the answer deals).

 

If anyone wants the answer just PM me so others can keep trying

Any hints??

I'll give a hint. It doesn't work unless you are speaking English (and even then it may not work if you don't call 0 'zero').

It seems so.

Lame!

[calbiterol]

Yeah, and here I was waiting for something more...

challenging.

there is nothing so teasing about these numbers because they r just in reverse alphabetical order like it starts from '0' zero

Yes yes, we know that, you may have noted that it's already been discussed but that everyone else had taken the care to use spoiler tags, or simply keep it to themselves.
