Can you answer this incredibly difficult Deutsche Bank brainteaser?

Deutsche Bank's interview questions seem to be strangely similar to most other banks' interview questions. Their brainteasers, however, may be substantially more difficult.

A month ago, the German bank broadcast the following brainteaser to candidates who might be interested in working there. Can you work it out? You need to provide the next two numbers in the series. Post your answers in the comments box below. We'll post the answer here on Monday.

101, 112, 131, 415, 161, 718, ?, ?

And the answer is: 192 & 021.

    191 and 1021.
    There are two series together instead of just one.
    Ser 1: 101, 131, 161, 191, 221.. increment of 30.
    Ser 2: 112, 415, 718, 1021, 1324, .. increment of 303.

    That's it.

    192, 021 - because if you step "outside the box" and look at the numbers differently, splitting them into 2 digit numbers and disregarding the separators in between, they make up the sequence: 10 11 12 13 14 15 and so on
