I've never been strong when attempting to solve puzzles like these. There are just too many variables for my Commodore64-sized mind to ponder.

Any tips on how to best approach a solution?

Iamatiger's sequence had six elements seeming to represent days of the week. The "Monday's child" poem came to mind.
