Looks like a palindrome, and I don't see much of a mathematical pattern in
it (not that I tried much though), so my guess is "1".

Not enough data to extrapolate the rule, but it could be
2113211 or 3113211 or 211121211 or 221121211
then
1221131221 or 1321131221 or 1221112111221 or 12122112111221
The problem with first two rules would come when the

Hm. If you hadn't included the next term, I'd have tried 1231.
Is the one after this 312211 then?

I don't think so, actually. I have a theory about what the sum of the
