	No, he has A good answer -the one you started with - presumably yours continues: 1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 13112221 1113213211 311312111321 132113111231131211 ... But any self-consistent sequence is good, provided the reasoning is not too contorted.

	I think, to expand on the answers given, that 111221 is three ones, two twos & one one hence 312211 __________________ I didn't have a really important life, but at least it's been funny (Lemmy Kilminster 1945-2015)

	11112211 This seems like one of those puzzles that has multiple correct answers but I'm guessing you're only looking for 1 solution.
