    I should slap you:

    It would be something like 11111221 multiply by two

    This is a classic sequence.

    312211 is the next term:

    It's a self describing sequence, A005150 in OEIS

    The first term is 1, the second is 11 (one 1), the third is 21 (two 1s), the fourth is 1211 (one 2 one 1), the next is 111221 (one 1 one 2 two 1s), so the next is 312211 (three 1s two 2s one 1), etc.

    Good try toryadamz :)
