The Curious Incident of the Dog
In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story ‘Silver Blaze’, we find:
‘Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?’
‘To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.’
‘The dog did nothing in the night-time.’
‘That was the curious incident,’ remarked Sherlock Holmes.
Here is a sequence: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, 17, 19, 22, 26, 28, 29, 41, 44
Having taken Holmes’s point on board: what is the next number in the sequence?
