Many of us feel as if we have a good grasp on mathematics, but from time to time, we may run across a problem and the solution is elusive. That is likely the case with this problem, although the pattern may seem rather simple at first glance. Don’t let the simplicity fool you, this one has stumped many people and it is estimated that only 10% of those who see it are going to get it right.
The list of numbers in the following sequence has a logical conclusion. The last number is missing, but if you look carefully at the numbers that do exist, the solution just may present itself. It can really test your maths skills, but it also tests your logic, which is something that many of us pride ourselves on as well.
When you come across a test, such as this, it is good to take the time to try and solve it. Even if you don’t get it right before you see the solution, it can exercise the brain and that has both short-term and long-term benefits.
