can you work this out?

you have to answer one question with a three word answer.

numbers of letters in the words in order : 7, 4 , 4


the question: "What am I doing here?"

only a 3 word answer 7,4,4 will be correct, good luck.

That question has more than one correct answer according to the rule given...  

"reading this book"

"oogling that babe"

(skuzzybait)
"strokin your ****"

Yeah, but none of those are for the original one. It's a little bit annoying to me that I haven't figured that one out yet.

The original sequence looks odd.  The dot and underscores are on separate lines.  So does that mean this:

Item 1:  .
Item 2:  ___
Item 3:  .
Item 4:  ___

Or does item 1 include both the dot and underscores?  The rest of the sequence occupies a single line for each item, so the first 2 (or 4) don't seem to match the format of the rest.

I was thinking though, why would it 'hit you' right away unless it was a picture or diagram of some sort?

Or if it's got some kind of mathematical structure attached, does that stuff EVER 'just hit' anyone?

*edit*  yeah, dots & underscores on the first four lines are separate from one another.

Do you guys want to know how the number one works?

Correct..

Arlo, it's not a number puzzle.  It should have been pretty obvious to someone as lucid and articulate as you, since all you need to do is read out loud a line to hear the next.. Nothing mathematical about that, I'm surprised DoNKeY trumped your brains Arlo.
In fact I posed this one to a dyed in the wool (Einsteinish) math professor just to buck his math mindedness.  He never found it despite being one of the most lucid teacher's I've had.

Could someone please explain the solution then?

Grab a beer, a hot chick, turn on a good game and listen to some mind blaringly good rock and roll.

My solution.

Heh that was the first thing that came into my head, didn't even notice it matched the letter count until after I posted... wierd.

Darn, Vulcan, you beat me to it. I just figured it out today and wanted to post it.

Awe man, you suck!:lol

indeed i do, it was a low down trick, would love to say sorry but lying wont help me now.

thats the kind of trick i would fall for in an instant, never would have spotted it myself. seriously impressed that vulcan got it, he must have a top notch brain for latteral thinking.
