Feathers

1
I need help with this question! Barney Dribble is carrying a pillowcase full of feathers. Hardy Pyle is carrying three pillow cases the same size as Barney's yet Hardy's load is lighter. How can this be? Question#2 The # sequence 1,11,21,1211,111221 is and now what would be the next set of numbers????? Thank you!

These questions probably belong in the Miscellaneous Discussions forum.

For the first question, what is in Hardy's pillowcases?

For the first question I'd just assume that the pillowcases are empty or full of air.

Which is heavier? A ton of feathers or a ton of lead?

A black car with its headlights off barreling down a black road surrounded by black buildings is able to stop just before hitting a man in black clothes. How?

Back to the original question, the answer is: 312211, 13112221, 1113213211

Took a shower and afterwards, bam, epiphany.

Each one describes the numeric string before it.

Starting with:
1
One 1 = 11
Two 1s = 21
One 2, One 1 = 1211
One 1, One 2, Two 1s = 111221
Leading us to:
Three 1s, Two 2s, One 1 = 312211
