wel so far 8 have solved it, so it isn't impossible, but I'm guessing based on 10 colours that it's a number sequence.

Relish

if each bead represents 0-9, then the pattern could seem random as it went from units to tens to hundreds etc.

it cant be primes as there would be no need for 0

perhaps it would be easier to find series to match to the beads?

It must be significant that at the start there is a green bead on its own, then a block then the series of beads.
integer - decimal point - series ?
A mathematical constant?
Something like pi (although pi doesn't seem to fit)

the hints were good enough.

I'm kicking myself now, I'd looked at that days ago but couldn't match it up as I took the big black bead as the start...doh! Your clus made me look again.

I get the clues but im still stuck on this card is there anyway that it can be found on the net?

That took me ages! The hints here really helped me figure out which pattern I was looking for, thanks. But what really tripped me up was trying to figure out which beads were which colour - some of them are so hard to tell! So if you think you're on the right lines but are getting it wrong, you may well be just mixing up some of your colours.

Aye getting the difference between orange, yellow and clear isn't easy, some of them are more obvious that others so you might need to check further along the string. Wink
