Your avatar is an actual picture of you. Isn’t it?
Nice job! I’ve been working on the puzzle but NEVER would have thought of that.

Super job my man I did not expect someone to get it so quick

Heavy.
Neph, with all due respect, you need to get out more.
I was trying to figure out a general term for the sequence. Damn, going to university is making me stupid.
Yes, though his avatar isn’t him, Neph is T-Nation’s nerd. But we love him.
Here’s another one:
Presidential Order:
In what order have I arranged the Presidents below? (Feel free to do some online research, but don’t just Google this list, etc.):
* Pierce
* Tyler
* Andrew Johnson
* Truman
* Theodore Roosevelt
* Arthur
* Cleveland
* Madison
* Fillmore
* Coolidge
* Grant, McKinley
* Lyndon Johnson
* Ford
* Taft
* Jackson
* Nixon
* All other Presidents
Jeez dude why don’t you try being only relevant to Americans for a change?

lucky guess
Not a sequence as such but how many have/can figure this out?
