In Farmer Stone's hay loft, there were several animals, in particular birds, mice, and cockroaches.
One day, feeling bored, I decided to count the animals. I found there were exactly 150 feet and 50 heads in total, and there were twice as many cockroaches as mice.
Reasoning
Each term increases by the number of letters in the previous term (ignoring any hyphens).
1 + length("ONE") = 4
4 + length("FOUR") = 8
8 + length("EIGHT") = 13
13 + length("THIRTEEN") = 21
21 + length("TWENTYONE") = 30
30 + length("THIRTY") = 36
36 + length("THIRTYSIX") = 45
