8+11=19. Why do I care that the person that did the first three were dumb?

The first one is legit. It's just the 2nd and 3rd that get wonky.

gonna say 96 (8 + (8 x 11)).

Joel Walbert 8mo ago

I mean I could be wrong, but that is way over complicating what is going on. The second eqation is its sum plus previous answer (7 + 5). Third is its sum plus previous (9 + 12). So forth is sum plus previous (19 + 21). Nothing accumulative.

You’re probably right.

I had it as first term: 1 + x (x =4), second term = 2+ 2x (x = 5), third term = 3 + 3x (x = 6), 8th term = 8 + 8x, x = 11).

Oddly enough, I kinda saw where you got it from.

52

40?

Sum of previous answer/row plus new two numbers

1st iteration is A+(1*B)

2nd is A+(2*B)

3rd is A+(3*B)

Etc

So its iteration# * B for each

However....

Now I see that A is the iteration, and 8 is not 4. So the answer should have been 96.

Not sure I followed but literally just

0 + 1 + 4

5 + (1+1) + (4+1)

12 + (1+1+1) (4+1+1)

Etc

Seems random and unsatisfying but it works 🤷‍♀️

Oh maybe I missed something. Just realized pattern of adding 1 to terms isn't true . Oh well, sorry for confusion

Basic pattern recognition.

96

I agree with this one on my second look at it. 96.

It seems both 40 and 96 are potential ... (though technically, the answer is 19).

I haven't seen (or figured) the explanation for 52 yet.
