a very clever one @k4m!k4ze!
1 (to get the next sequence, read each line in english to yourself)
11: there is one 1 in the above row.
21: there are two 1s in the above row.
1112: there is one 1 and one 2 in the above row.
3112: there are three 1s and one 2 in the above row.
211213: there are two 1s, one 2 and one 3 in the above row.
312213: there are three 1s, two 2s and one 3 in the above row.
so it follows...
212223: there are two 1s, two 2s and two 3s in the above row.
114213: there is one 1, four 2s and one 3 in the above row.
31121314: there are three 1s, one 2, one 3 and one 4 in the above row
41122314: there are four 1s, one 2, two 3s and one 4 in the above row
31221324: there are three 1s, two 2s, one 3 and two 4s in the above row
21322314: there are two 1s, three 2s, two 3s and one 4 in the above row (at which point the pattern stabilises, so the cycle stops)
therefore, the sequence is:
1, 11, 21, 1112, 3112, 211213, 312213, 212223, 114213, 31121314, 41122314, 31221324, 21322314.

Well done @soichiro I wrote it out in a column (as above) but went more on the pattern ie no logic - call it more art than science!

Give me a sec, I'll be back with some more interesting puzzles, but for know try this...
"A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a shotgun and points it at him. The man says, thank you and leaves. Why?"
Have fun, and don't forget to add your own puzzles and riddles!!!
Cheers

How about this?
"A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible "

He realises he's stumbled into the wrong bar, and doesn't want to get shot?

The man has hiccups, and asks for water to help, but the barman pulls the gun on him to scare his hiccups away!!
