This is the number of chimes struck by a clock that chimes the hours and once on the half hour, starting at 12:30, and followed by 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30. Therefore the next numbers in the sequence are 3, 1, 4, 1, etc. Haven't we seen this here recently? Jan Wolitzky, AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ
