I will warn you that some of this story is true, some of it's not, and some of it is delirious, caffeine-induced pablum. Let's proceed:
So John came into the office the other day, baffled by his kids (something that happens quite often). One of his kids is a teenager and, like many teens these days, goes through the day with her nose buried in her phone.
"I was trying to talk to her," John said, "but she just wouldn't look up from her phone. Then she finally stopped and said 'Fine. I'll put away my phone if you tell me this: what's the next item in this sequence?'
444, 7, 44, 666, 66, ??
"I'm just trying to talk to her and this is what I get?" Can you help John out?
