    Cool Challenge!!!

    I have posted a similar thread once but no one seemed to have got it right. So here it goes again:

    I have a series (Please find some random samples below) of numbers (left) that are generated by a system and their corresponding serials (to the right) which are plain autonumbers. These numbers are passed through the system for a sort of login and and are used only once.
    When the number is enterred into the system, a validation is performed which checks if the numbers are correct, i.e if they fit the algo or not and if it has already been used before. The same pattern is used each time for validating. The challenge is to derive which pattern the system uses to generate those numbers and to be able to generate new numbers that will fit the algorithm and therefore allow new logins into the system. Anybody want to give it a try???
    Note that the first four numbers are prefixes.
