Sequences are common in puzzles. Most of them are boring, but here are a few which are more fun (and possibly cheating...)
1
- You will need to have several numbers before the hint will help.
Solution - but don't click here until you've tried it for yourself. The solution is more fun, and makes more sense, after your own attempts.
Here is a sequence. What is the next number?
8
8,000,000,000
8,000,000,008
8,000,000,800
Solution - but don't click here until you've tried it for yourself. The solution is more fun, and makes more sense, after your own attempts.
This one just needs a little thought (and so doesn't have a hint). Which is the first number, spelt as a word, has its letters in alphabetical order? ONE doesn't because N comes before O and E comes before both of them. By number, we mean, of course, the positive integers.
- but don't click here until you've tried it for yourself.
This one is definitely cheating!
