          I would say Greg is almost correct but that the actual answer is




          2112, 2222, 2332, 0000




          Because these are




          Palindromic times on a digital clock, in order (e.g, 21:12, 22:22)

          • Ahh. Good call! Does ROT13(Zl fba Ebova) have anything to do with it?

          2112, 2222, 2332, 2442, (2552, 3003) (next 6 for good measure)




          Because:




          The middle two numbers increase by one, when they reach 6, the outside numbers go up by one, the middle numbers go to zero (sort of modulo 6)
