It starts out with one, which can be read as one 1. That's the second number, which is two ones. 21 can be read as one 2 and one 1. And so on.

Related to the first one
While I think about Percy's latest one, here's another sequence that's in the same category as the original one.
0 4 1 3 2 3 3 5 4 4 5 4 ...
What the rule(s)?
thanx

Re: Related to the first one
Thanks for the hint! Just so others will still have a chance to play I'll respond with more numbers to the original sequence.
11 12 10 8 8 10 ...
Very nice one. I'm not sure how long it would have taken me without the hint however.
thanx
