A F Z U G L T _
Answer: O
starts with A
A%2B5 letters = F
go to end of alphabet= Z
Z-5 letters = U
from F go one more to G%2B5 letters = L
from U+go one back to+T%2B5 letters = O
or,
Change the letters to their corresponding number.
A=1
B=2
C=3
...
Z=26
A F Z U G L T _
1 6 26 21 7 12 20 ?
1 6 26 7 12 20 _
Look at the pattern: the 1st and 3rd numbers =27, 1%2B26
the 2nd and 4th numbers = 27, 6+%2B+21
the 5th and 7th numbers = 27, so the 6 and 8th would also equal 27.
27-12+%2B+15, so the letter is O
so the answer is: O
