OK, here's the deal...five questions, all pertaining to sequences of numbers. Your task - to figure out the five answers. I'll even give you a couple of hints. Questions one and three are very similar. Questions two and four are related - if you're stumped on either or both of them, make a comparison between the two. As for question five, you get no hint. I wrote the damn quiz and it took me a good hour to figure it out when I stumbled upon it again. However, I will go so far to offer a $20 (Canadian) prize to the first person that can answer all five questions. Send your answers (and the reasoning behind them - no flukes) to eaheath at sfu dot ca and if you're proven correct, I'll ask for the information as to where to send the four Lauriers. (If you're unfamiliar with Canadian currency, look it up.)

Without further ado...
