          I would say Greg is almost correct but that the actual answer is




          2112, 2222, 2332, 0000




          Because these are




          Palindromic times on a digital clock, in order (e.g, 21:12, 22:22)

          Because:




          The middle two numbers increase by one, when they reach 6, the outside numbers go up by one, the middle numbers go to zero (sort of modulo 6)

            Your observation is correct but there is an everyday reason for it; our answer is therefore more specific.
