E, I, I, E, I, I, O, H, W, ?

Respectfully, DJ, I beg to differ.

First, I didn't say it was simple to find the answer. I said I didn't like the problem. I can come up with an equally difficult problem of sequencing.... such as the third letter of the prime numbers starting from 13 and going up. But really... is that worth while?

Second, I'm guessing you submitted a rating of 5 (I may be wrong), to offset my submission of 1. Do you really this this problem is excellent?

Third, if someone has the answer (even if he is cursed with being a scholar :-), then he should feel more than comfortable with giving a complete solution. And this one is important. I think the environment should be friendly to people who have the answer to the problem. (BTW, thank you Charlie for posting it.)

Fourth, I do not see what "good discussion" could have arisen from this problem. Certainly some discussion would have come up... probably mostly like... "I don't have a clue".... but since there is no critical thinking involved here, what kind of comments would you consider good?

Okay... probably this and my comments in the forum are more venues for my rants.... :-)

Thanks again (all), for wasting your time listening to me....
