two more to work out please.....

[darth vader]

next in series:
26, 13, 7, 4, ??
9, 18, 36, 63, ??
43, 45, 65, 97,??

(and a 'why?' would be nice...)

[darth vader]

i think i've got some answers for the series wrong, but i have worked out that the 43,45,65,97 series is based on the elements of the previous series' added up, therefore i can only work this out when i know all the rest. i have 11
19
12
2
72
and116
for all the elements - can someone tell me which ones are wrong (as the answer isn't 232.htm)

the answer is 286 but I don't know why.

I think the answer to 9, 18, 36, 63 is 99. 9 plus one nine, 18 plus two nines, 36 plus 3 nines etc.

What was the original question? I can't find it.
