I need help with this mathematics problem!?

Question

Question:

If each group of numbers consist of six numbers,

the first five numbers may range between (1-36)

Whereas, the “S” or Superior number may range between the numbers (1-10)

Use the following numbers to determine the next group of numbers.

1, 7, 18, 19, 27 - S: 4

4, 7, 9, 14, 26 - S: 5

7, 9, 24, 32, 36 - S: 7

5, 12, 13, 16, 27 - S: 9

5, 7, 9, 22, 24 - S: 7

2, 3, 21, 25, 34 - S: 8

18, 28, 29, 34, 36 - S: 2

1, 14, 15, 25, 35 - S: 6

8, 14, 24, 30, 31 - S: 10

Please don't answer if you can't handle the question!

I don't need any petty answers from people who are just looking for points.

Are there any experienced mathematicians in here or "rocket scientists" who are brilliant enough to solve this?

I don't have a clue as to what the answer is yet!

I also gave you all the clues & hints that I have available.

I know it isn't much but my Professor friend will give me the answer tomorrow night.

If I give him the correct sequence of numbers, he'll buy me or one of my other friends a "home theater system".

It's a running bet that we've got going.

The answer is

11, 18, 24, 33, 34 - S: 2

I saw the method my friend used but I don't understand it.

I guess he's on another level of human intelligence or something.

He calls it a "proof"

I call it bulls**t !!!

After weeks of frustration I thought posting it on Yahoo Answers would be a good idea...
But I guess nobody can solve it.

Answer 1

Justin, if you know the answer, are there any hints? I'm trying to solve this, but I need a hint. This is a very difficult problem.

edit:
I'm stumped. Please post or e-mail me the answer and method when you get it. Thanks.

Answer 2

The answer is so simple...
I have no freakin idea....what kinda crap problem is that?
