A real noddle-scratcher

[alkatran]

My head hurts

Anyways, I can't solve this!
All I can see is that the top bar goes 1*off, on, 2*off, on, 3*off, ?

Figure out the 9th object in the series.

[twanvl]

Hint: Turn bars that are off on, and those that are on off.

[sql_lall]

Wow, thats a really good one. never seen it before.

[alkatran]

OMG lol!
*starts punching bitmap*
How DARE YOU BE INVERTED?!?!?!?!?

Thx twanvl

[alkatran]

Here's one I made:

edit: Fixed the problem

[DavidHooper]

Hehe. Good stuff. I'll print that out and stick it on my wall at uni I think.

What comes next in this sequence?:
OTTFFSSE

[alkatran]

I'm inclined to say E, but.. that's too obvious.

[nahya^^]

k i'm dumb. but what the heck does that stick figures supposed to represent?

The answer's N; the sequence is a list of the first letters of the digits 1-9.

[sql_lall]

While we're in the mood, a slightly harder one:

AEAPAUUU

what is next?

[DavidHooper]

Hmm, give us a clue.

[sql_lall]

1) It's not really maths-based
2) Where do you often find vowels??
3) Nothing to do with the other problems

BTW, what is the answer to that second problem?? Or another hint?

[alkatran]

By the second you mean mine?
Hint: it starts "on" number 1, but the actual pattern began with all of them lit up, then to "0"

[DavidHooper]

sql_lall, I don't know, where do you often find vowels?

[sql_lall]

Six words in this sentence have the vowel placement in common.
The first numbers: One, Two, Three
don't share this common trait, but the next few do:
Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten.

Oh, for more of a hint, do words usually start with vowels??
Do vowels usually come after constanants??

BTW, not sure what u mean by "on" 1 and "to" 0, but i guess these were meant to be vague, as they are hints

[DavidHooper]

I give up.

[alkatran]

Ok, in my puzzle, the starting picture would be all the bars 'ON'.

Then comes 0, then 1 (the first one I illustrated), then 2, etc.

The reason I didn't put 0 was because it would make it soooo obvious.

[sql_lall]

I get it, you're using the last pic and "NOT"ting the next number onto it. Gotcha.

BTW, vowels are often found as the second letter of a word.
=> This is a list of second letters...but which ones??

[alkatran]

Oh, it's the SECOND letter.
