Brain Teasers : Mathemetics
This is a easy and good puzzle.
Find the 8 digit number which satiesfies all of the following conditions
1-> the first 2 and last 2 digits are same.
2-> the total of 8 digit is 37.
3-> it is a square number.
4-> it is a cube number.
If anyone wants to make the code, here is the hint:
try making a series of square & cube numbers, then save the common numbers in series. Then you know the remainimg task.

Saandeep SreerambatlaThe answer is 16777216.
The square root is 4096 and cube root is 256.
i followed this approach as it decreases the chances , i checked for cubes of numbers which end up in 8 digits so the range of numbers from 216 - 464 on cubing gives the answer which is of 8 digits following the same approach in squaring 3163 - 9999 gives the numebers in 8 digits.
So i wrote a loop to check the cube roots aganist the square roots and i didnt use the condition the first two and last two are same ..
With using that i think the solution will be even simpler ..

Nice puzzle Rajdeep π -
RajdeepCENice explanation,ES!!!!
Congrats!!!
Looks like I have to find more difficult puzzles for you. -
RajdeepCEHere is the new puzzle for you all :
complete the following series,
*->1,2,7,18,41,74,___,___,___,...
fill all 3 blanks with proper explanation. -
Saandeep Sreerambatlai am trying from 2 hours and didnt get atleast one number π
Good Puzzle will try π -
RajdeepCEI am happy that atleast one CEan is interested in this puzzle.
Thanks ES & keep trying. I believe that you will get the solution first.
Let us have sometime & see that who has the guts to solve this. -
RajdeepCEHey CEans, try this simple one series :
-> 1,1,2,1,3,2,5,3,8,___,___,___,... -
Saandeep SreerambatlaAre the next numbers 5 , 13 , 8 ,21
-
Harshad Italiya1,1,2,1,3,2,5,3,8,5,13,8

2-1=1
and so on -
RajdeepCEBoth are right!!!
Congrats Godfather & ES!!!
But what about the first one, it is quite hard, isnt it? -
Anil Jain
Rajdeep are you sure this series is correct...RajdeepCEHere is the new puzzle for you all :
complete the following series,
*->1,2,7,18,41,74,___,___,___,...
fill all 3 blanks with proper explanation.
What I can work out is it, is following pattern 3*2^n-n-3, where n starts from 0. (Though its not working for first element)
However 74 is not fitting in this solution; 6 member of the series should be should be 88. If yes then answer is 183, 374, 757.
Correct me if I am wrong.
-CB -
RajdeepCEThanks CB, for you reply and pointing out the error. I recalculated the whole series after your reply and I found one error in 6th number. Actually the series is right, but I misspelled the number. The original number is 84. And one more thing that series can be started from 0 but it doesnt affect the series. Sorry for that error.
@Crazyboy, again thanks. And regarding about your answer, it isnt correct.
Here is the series,
#-> 0,1,2,7,18,41,84,161,__,__,__,...
Try finding this series. -
RajdeepCEHere is another series. This series is identical with above. If you get through this series than you can easily solve the above series.
#-> 0,1,2,5,10,19,34,59,__,__,__,... -

silverscorpionWell, thanks very much for the hint rajdeep. I was breaking my head to get this right..
The solution to both the series are,
1) 0,1,2,7,18,41,84,161, 294,519,894
0+1+1; 1+2+4; 2+7+9; 7+18+16; 18+41+25; 41+84+36; 84+161+49; 161+294+64; 294+519+81
2) 0,1,2,5,10,19,34,59, 100,167,276
0+1+1; 1+2+2; 2+5+3; 5+10+4; 10+19+5; 19+34+6; 34+59+7; 59+100+8; 100+167+9;
Hope the answers are correct.. ππ -
silverscorpionThese are very interesting. Thanks for such puzzles. Give more difficult and interesting puzzles..
Cheers!! -
Saandeep SreerambatlaRajdeepCEHere is another series. This series is identical with above. If you get through this series than you can easily solve the above series.
#-> 0,1,2,5,10,19,34,59,__,__,__,...
IS the answer 100 , 167 ,276 ?? -
Saandeep Sreerambatlaoops looks like Scorpion already posted the answer π
Anyways thanks scorpion the first one didnt struck yet.got the second one.
π -
RajdeepCECongratulation to SS, for solving both the series!!
@ES, cheers!!!! Atleast you struck one.
Here is the common equation,
for 1st series :- X(n+1)=X(n+1)+X(n)+n^2
and for 2nd series :- X(n+1)=X(n+1)+X(n)+n
take X(0)=0, X(1)=1.
I want to post some more series by replacing n by 2n,3n,or n^3, but I just thought that its enough. Thanks SS for your interest, I will post some more difficult series. -
RajdeepCEHere is one another series for you all CEans, but here is one condition. You have to specify the common equation.
Let us start with modrate difficulty level, I will increase the difficulty latter, cause finding the common eqtation is little tough.
1-> 1,2,2,4,5,9,13,22,__,__,__,...
2-> 0,1,1,3,4,8,12,21__,__,__,...
3-> 1,0,2,2,5,7,13,21,__,__,__,...
4-> 2,1,4,3,6,8,14,21,__,__,__,...
Try this but dont forgot to reply with common equation. -
pradeep_agrawalBelow is my solution:
1-> 1,2,2,4,5,9,13,22,__,__,__,... Considering x(0) = 1, x(1) = 2, the equation should be: x(n+1) = x(n) + x(n-1) - (n % 2) Hence, x(8) = x(7 + 1) = x(7) + x(7-1) - (7 % 2) = x(7) + x(6) - (7 % 2) = 22 + 13 - 1 = 34
2-> 0,1,1,3,4,8,12,21__,__,__,... Considering x(0) = 0, x(1) = 1, the equation should be: x(n+1) = x(n) + x(n-1) + [(n+1) % 2)] Hence, x(8) = x(7 + 1) = x(7) + x(7-1) + [(7+1) % 2] = x(7) + x(6) + [8 % 2] = 21 + 12 + 0 = 33
3-> 1,0,2,2,5,7,13,21,__,__,__,... Considering x(0) = 1, x(1) = 0, the equation should be: x(n+1) = x(n) + x(n-1) + (n % 2) Hence, x(8) = x(7 + 1) = x(7) + x(7-1) + (7 % 2) = x(7) + x(6) + (7 % 2) = 21 + 13 + 1 = 35
4-> 2,1,4,3,6,8,14,21,__,__,__,... I feel the series should be 2,1,3,3,6,8,14,21,__,__,__,... If that is the case then considering x(0) = 2, x(1) = 1, the equation should be: x(n+1) = x(n) + x(n-1) - [(n+1) % 2] Hence, x(8) = x(7 + 1) = x(7) + x(7-1) - [(7+1) % 2] = x(7) + x(6) + (8 % 2) = 21 + 14 + 0 = 35 If the series is not as i specified, then i need to give it another try.
-Pradeep -
RajdeepCEYou are absolutely right!!!!
You get the another solution for series. Here is my solution:
take X(0)=1, X(1)=1,
1-> X(n+1)=X(n)+X(n-1)+Sin(n*pi/2)
2-> X(n+1)=X(n)+X(n-1)-Cos(n*pi/2)
3-> X(n+1)=X(n)+X(n-1)-Sin(n*pi/2)
4-> X(n+1)=X(n)+X(n-1)+Cos(n*pi/2).
Be prepared for the hard challenges. -
RajdeepCETry your mind on this:
#->> 5,17,37,65,101,__,__,__,....
It will be better if you submit the solution with common equation cause it is easy to explain others. -
pradeep_agrawalBelow is my solution:
5,17,37,65,101,__,__,__,.... Considering x(0) = 5, the equation should be: x(n+1) = x(n) + 12 + 8*n Hence, x(5) = x(4 + 1) = x(4) + 12 + 8*4 = 101 + 12 + 32 = 145
-Pradeep -
RajdeepCEGreat Pradeep!!!! You are blazzing fast for solving the series. Now I have to increase the difficulty to intermediatle level.
-
Saandeep SreerambatlaPradeep you are lightining fast excellent .
-
RajdeepCEHere is the another series, you dont need to give common equation. So just give the answer,
#->>> 0,1,3,2,6,7,5,__,__,__,__,..... -
pradeep_agrawalThat's a tough one. I guess it should be 4 but not sure.
Reason:
The series is: 0,1,3,2,6,7,5,__,__,__
If we take difference of each consecutive number the series of differences is
1,2,-1,4,1,2
So i feel the pattern it follows is
1,2,-1,4,1,2,-1,4...
And so the next value in the given series should be (5-1) = 4.
If you specify few next element of the series then may be i can comment more on that.
-Pradeep -
Saandeep SreerambatlaDude if you consider it 5-7 is -2 not 2 .
So i guess the series may not be correct wat say? -
pradeep_agrawal
Thanks for bringing that up. I did a typo.English-ScaredDude if you consider it 5-7 is -2 not 2 .
So i guess the series may not be correct wat say?
Actually i mean that the pattern should be
1,2,-1,4,1,-2,-1,-4...
or something similar.
For the current series i will still go with 4 as guess for next number. But to determine the correct pattern i will need more data as input.
-Pradeep -
Saandeep SreerambatlaYep this sounds right , may be we need the next few numbers to determine the sequence π
-
CEMember
If I assume that this given series does not have any wrong numbers then after putting my 2 stupid explanations into it, series would be somewhat like following:RajdeepCEHere is the another series, you dont need to give common equation. So just give the answer,
#->>> 0,1,3,2,6,7,5,__,__,__,__,.....
0,1,3,2,6,7,5,12,13,14,15,16,11...
or
0,1,3,2,6,7,5,12,13,14,9,...
Answer Please? -
RajdeepCESeries is perfectly correct, there is no errors in the series. I am giving some more elements, hope this will help you:
#->>> 0,1,3,2,6,7,5,4,12,13,__,__,__,__,....
Now you will have to specify the next four elements of the series. I will give you hint in few days if I dont get the answer. -
RajdeepCEHere is few another series,

RajdeepCEHere is Weekend Bonanza!!!
Put each number 1 to 9 in the X in order to make the equation correct.
XX/XXX + XX/XX=7 -
silverscorpionCan the X's take any values from 1 to 9 or is there some order or condition to be followed???
-
Saandeep Sreerambatla86/13 + 95/247 = 7
it almost took 45 mins to me to arrive at the answer awesome puzzle π -
RajdeepCECheers ES!!!!
But dont forgot to solve the series.
P.S: 3 series are left to solve.
I dont want to give more mathematical puzzles until I get the solution of atleast two series.
Try to get rid of it, first one is tough & demands different logic but remaining can be solved with few logics. -
pradeep_agrawal
I feel the series follow pattern where the difference from previous number can be represented as:RajdeepCEI am giving some more elements, hope this will help you:
#->>> 0,1,3,2,6,7,5,4,12,13,__,__,__,__,....
Now you will have to specify the next four elements of the series.
1,2,-1,4,1,-2,-1,8,1 ,2,-1,-4,1,-2,-1,16...,
The series of differences follow the pattern:
- The difference will always be (+/-)2^n, (n >= 0)
- n is the highest number for which the position of difference is completely divisible by 2^n, e.g., if we consider position 8, 8 is completely by 2^3 = 8. So we put 8 there. Similarly if we consider position 12, 12 is completely divisible by 2^2 = 4 so we put 4 there.
- The +/- is determined from the previous sign of same difference value and the first appearance of any difference value is always positive, e.g., at position 12 we have -4 because the previous appearance of 4 at position 4 was positive. At position 16 we have 16 (positive) because it appears for first time.
So the next four number in the series should be 15,14,10,11.
-Pradeep -
RajdeepCE@Pradeep, your answer is right but I cant get through the logic you used in series. I have different logic for series. I have little doubt about the integrity of the logic you used. Can you please specify more elements of the series (preferebly 10-12) to check the integrity of the series? I am looking forward for this.
-
pradeep_agrawalAs per my logic the series of differences will be:
1,2,-1,4,1,-2,-1,8,1,2,-1,-4,1,-2,-1,16,1,2,-1,4,1,-2,-1,-8...
And hence the series of actual numbers will be:
0,1,3,2,6,7,5,4,12,13,15,14,10,11, 9,8,24,25,27,26,30,31,29,28,20...
-Pradeep -
RajdeepCECongrats, Pradeep!!!! You are absolutely right.
This series is actually a gray code series. Here it is,
0000=0,
0001=1,
0011=3,
0010=2,
0110=6,
0111=7,and so on... -

RajdeepCEHere is another mathematics teaser :
Use only 1, 3, 4, & 6 to derive the number 24. You have to follow some rules,
->> use only standard arithmetic expression
->> use of trignometric and logrethmic functions is not allowed here
->> you can use infinite numbers of bracket
Go CEans!!!! -
silverscorpionIs the use of square root allowed??
If so, then here's the answer..
6 * (sqrt(4)) * (3-1) = 6*2*2 = 24 -
CEMemberIf square root is not allowed but exponential is allowed then π
1[sup]3[/sup] * 4 * 6 = 24 -
RajdeepCESorry SS, your answer is right, but we have to strictly use the simple arithmetic operations. Anyway keep on scratching your head, you will definatley get the answer.
-
CEMemberWhat about my answer RajDeep ? π
-
RajdeepCE@CEMember, only simple arithmetic operat¨¬on is allowed, you can only use addition(+), subtraction(-), multiplication(*), & division(/), and use lots of brackets() as many as you need.
-
shalini_goel14
Hey RajDeep,RajdeepCE@CEMember, only simple arithmetic operat¨¬on is allowed, you can only use addition(+), subtraction(-), multiplication(*), & division(/), and use lots of brackets() as many as you need.
Are you sure we are supposed to exactly one 1,3,4,6 or can we use multiple values like two 1 and rest only once ? -
RajdeepCENo, we have to use all four numbers exactly one time.

#->>> 2,8,27,85,___,___,___,....
All the best. -
silverscorpion1) The first series is n[SUP]n[/SUP].
so, the next terms are 3125, 46656, etc..
2) The second series is,
2+(n-1)*5/2 if n is odd,and
(n-1)*4 if n is even.
So, the next terms are 12,48,17,68, etc..
3) I can't find the common equation for this. I managed to find the next terms in the series.. They came to be
208, 422..
Let me know if they are correct.. -
RajdeepCEOnly 1st series is right. Other two series were wrong.

My try for first one...

Solution: 2*4 =8 -1 =7*4 =28-1 =27*4 =108-1 =107*4 =428..... and so on...
-CB -
pradeep_agrawal
I also thought of the same solution πcrazyboyMy try for first one...
2, 8, 7, 28, 27, 108, 107, 428........
I feel the second series should go as:
2, 8, 27, 85, 260, 786, 2365 ...
2 * 3 + 2 = 8
8 * 3 + 3 = 27
27 * 3 + 4 = 85
85 * 3 + 5 = 260
260 * 3 + 6 = 786
786 * 3 + 7 = 2365
