Brain Teasers

Can you explain the logic to that one?

Yeah, I can try.

Ok, there are two patterns in this one.

1-1-2-2-3-4-4-8-5-16-6
A-B-A-B-A-B-A-B-A-B -A

the A's count up by increments of 1. The B's are that number multiplied by 2.

so, the next number in the sequence is 16*2 = 32
The number after that would be 7 and so on.

Does that make sense?

 

[RawHumor]

Does that make sense?

Yup, it was obvious as soon as I read the "two patterns" part. The rest were so easy (relatively speaking) that I was being too closed-minded to see this one, I think.

Thanks.

Hey, no problem. Some of the easier ones had me stumped. Most of them the pattern just kind jumped out at me right away.


#21. 125

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

25= 2310
devide 30030 by asending prime numbers, 3,5,7,11,13

 

[Shockdoctor]

Oh yeah, almost forgot

Re: Find the next number in the sequence....

Question 12: 9-13-12-16-15-19-18-? another "every other" type - the answer is 22

Question 13: 1-10-11-100-101-110-? 111?

Question 14: 1-2-3-5-8-13-21-? 34 (add the previous pair of numbers to get the next one in series

Question 16: 27-9-18-6-12-4-? 8 (subtraction)

Question 17: 13-6-10-9-7-12-4-15-? 1 (every other)

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

bratcat was my correctio of #11 right?

I forgot to carry the one so 32 becomes 42??

 

[Shockdoctor]

17 and 25 are right...21 still needs some work.

Should be using a calculator I guess.

The answer to #21. is 75

 

[Shockdoctor]

I believe the answer to #15 is 3.

 

[*bratcat*]

hmm...my new assistant seems to be lagging in her duties!

Question 11: 4-6-10-14-22-26-? 34 - Prime numbers doubled

 

[RawHumor]

I believe the answer to #15 is 3.

If that's true, could you explain it?

 

[*bratcat*]

 

[Shockdoctor]

If that's true, could you explain it?

Yeah, I'll have to start putting explanations in with every answer. Some of these are difficult.

32 + 4 = 36
36 / 4 = 9
9 + 3 = 12
12 / 3 = 4
4 + 2 = 6
6 / 2 = 3

Just determine the difference between the first two numbers and divide the second number by that difference. Repeat all the way down the line.

 

[Shockdoctor]

The answer to #11 is 34.

Each number is a double of a prime number.

 

[Shockdoctor]

The answer to #18 is 95.

Solution:

Add the sum of each number's digits to get the next number.

2+5=7
25+7=32
3+2=5
32+5=37
etc...

 

[Shockdoctor]

The answer to #24 is 46657.

Solution:

(n^n) +1

n starts at 1, and goes up in increments of 1

thanks shock doc
#24 I was baffled with, I didn't do the +1 so was missing that part.

well i'm bord I think i'll try these ones I didn't do before.

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

#19 15565

4x2=8x-2=-16+1=-15
-15x2=30x-2=-60+1=61
yada yad
-3891x2=blahx-2=positive blah +1=15565
