Problem Detail: My friend gave me a question to solve. The question he asked me was: the following sequence has been generated by a 7-bit linear feedback shift register. He asked me to find the feedback polynomial. I went through some lectures on LFSR on youtube. But still I am unable to solve this. Can anyone point out how to approach or crack this kind of question?

The feedback polynomial is $x^7 + x^6 + x^5 + x^1 + 1$ and can be computed using the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm.
