What should be the next number in the following series? 1 2 8 48 384 _ ?
Begin with -> 1
1×2 = 2
2×4 = 8
8×6 = 48
48×8 = 384
???×? = ????
You can fill in those ?'s, right?
What should be the next letter in the following series? A Z E B I Y O _?
Write them in colors like this:
A Z E B I Y O ? ?
The red ones are the vowels. So you could easily guess what the next
red one would be. But what about the next green one?
Z is the LAST letter of the alphabet that we haven't used already.
B is the FIRST letter of the alphabet that we haven't used already.
[Notice that we have already used A.]
Y is the LAST letter of the alphabet that we haven't used already.
[Notice that we have already used Z.]
? is the FIRST letter of the alphabet that we haven't used already.
[Notice that we have already used A and B].
Bet you can answer that now, right?
