@shalini-goel14-ASmC2J • Jan 18, 2009

What is next in the sequence

An easy one for you all:

M, T, W, T,___ , ___ , ___

Think Think ??? A dairy milk for the correct answer. 😀

@saandeep-sreerambatla-hWHU1M • Jan 18, 2009

T S S

T S S
is it correct? the days in the week .

Oooooooo..Impressesed with the explanation but unfortunately your answer is wrong so dairy milk is mine.😉

Correct answer is F,S, S not T,S,S Ha ha ha ...😁

@saandeep-sreerambatla-hWHU1M • Jan 19, 2009

aha shalini you are right , but as i got the idea correct i guess we can have one each.😛

Buy a one 😛 because i have finished mine one.

@saandeep-sreerambatla-hWHU1M • Jan 19, 2009

Sure will buy one by you name and will complete it, and the answer is N,T E,T T,F F,S as biggie gave 8 dashes to answer😛.
i think you have answer only half of it , guess busy eating the dairy milk😀

Mr Scared, so what blanks are 8 but '?' are 4 only na. By the way, don't expect its correct answer. You will come to know it after some years I guess. Not sure even 😕

I nearly messed up a lab experiment test because I forgot that darn sequence 😔

@durga-TpX3gO • Jan 28, 2009

I remotely recall that we used to remember the seq as"B.B ROY Great Britain had a Very Good Wife "

what else could we do.. it was so adhoc 😔

babloo0311

@babloo0311-J22PBc • Jan 28, 2009

hey yep yes , how can i forget this . now i remember 😀

@shalini-goel14-ASmC2J • Jan 29, 2009

Even I can also recall it now but I read it in my 12th standard(not in engineering) in resistors chapter.

@Durga even I also learnt that way "B.B ROY Great Britain had a Very Good Wife". You won't believe it but this way of learning was in my physics book.

@durga-TpX3gO • Jan 29, 2009

😀
Ash hope this way you don't mess your next exam 😛

Well, who needs it when you have the engineer's best friend, the multimeter? 😉

@arunhero99-LRZv4M • Jan 29, 2009

Well done guys... B b Roy method is kind of a standard all over india... But if we do a google on the sequence, we can find lots of other funny sentence also...some are bit offensive... 😉

shiwa436

@shiwa436-h94d47 • Feb 2, 2009

The series ends in .....,F,S,S. Which I believe, translates into Friday Saturday and Sunday. Can someone confirm?

@shalini-goel14-ASmC2J • Feb 2, 2009

shiwa436
.....,F,S,S.

Friday Saturday and Sunday.

Well done shiwa 😀. Your answer & explanation is absolutely correct.

Now check the following:

#-Link-Snipped-#

@shalini-goel14-ASmC2J • Feb 8, 2009

Complete the following very simple sequence:

364, 361, 19, 16, 4, 1, __ ?

silverscorpion

@silverscorpion-iJKtdQ • Feb 8, 2009

ha,
How many numbers do you need? Next number alone is enough or should i continue the series?

Anyways, the series continues as follows.

364, 361, 19, 16, 4, 1, 1, -2

the logic is, subtract three from 1st number, take square root, again subtract three and go on.
well, this can further continue in complex numbers, like 1.414j, -3+1.414j, square root(-3+1.414j) etc..😁😁

@durga-TpX3gO • Feb 8, 2009

answer 1,-2,and then sqrt of -2 and so on
364 -361 =3
19^2 =361
19 -3 =16
4^2=16
4-3=1
1^1 =1

@durga-TpX3gO • Feb 8, 2009

oops!
look like SS has already replied

Well Good Scorpion & Durga but I asked only for 1 no in the series😉. Not the list extending to complex numbers .

So Sequence is:

364, 361, 19, 16, 4, 1, 1 😁

Awesome question -- the answer is 1010.

@arunhero99-LRZv4M • Mar 23, 2009

Never thought anyone would crack that... Nice talent.
Anyway. a much simpler one:

2,9,5,13,10,19,17, ?

@rishna-9pM65A • Mar 23, 2009

2,9,5,13,10,19,17,27

@arunhero99-LRZv4M • Mar 23, 2009

awesome ... 27 it is.
now, who wants to explain how the answer is 27?

@CrazyBoy • Mar 23, 2009

arunhero99

2,9,5,13,10,19,17,27,26,37,37.
Add 7, Sub 4, Add 8, Sub 3, Add 9, Sub 2, Add 10, Sub 1, Add 11, Sub 0

Enjoy!!!

@rishna-9pM65A • Mar 24, 2009

ok that was clear.
here is one more.

Do you know numbers and letters? Now find the next number in the series.
5.. 15 ..5.. 18.. 5.. 24 ..14.. 20.. ?

happy thinking

5.. 15 ..5.. 18.. 5.. 24 ..14.. 20.. 5 (ninE)

Looking at onE, twO, threE, fouR, fivE, siX, seveN, eighT, it should be apparent that we are looking at the last letter of each number (in English) which is then converted to its position in the alphabet (E=5, O=15, etc.)

@syedaafaq-Mp6aXz • Mar 24, 2009

the next number is 27......... then 26......

@syedaafaq-Mp6aXz • Mar 24, 2009

oopps the answer is already given huhhhhhhhhh

@syedaafaq-Mp6aXz • Mar 24, 2009

using set of numbers repeating it two times..... find out a number as given below 312132......
the speciality in this number is that 1, 2, and 3 is used two times and between two 3's there are three numbers and between two 2's there are two numbers and between two one's there is one number..... find a number using a set of 1,2,3,4 repeatin the numbers two times with the same concept given above......

@saandeep-sreerambatla-hWHU1M • Mar 24, 2009

The answer::

41312432 😎😎

@syedaafaq-Mp6aXz • Mar 24, 2009

Finally English-Scared got the right answer. Congratulations, your answer is correct.

@saandeep-sreerambatla-hWHU1M • Mar 24, 2009

Thanks Syed.

Hey..you are the best. how about you make an unbreakable sequence and test our skills? that will be fun.

@rishna-9pM65A • Mar 24, 2009

hey Crazy, if you are getting bored even today, then here is another one

Find next number in the series...

1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, ?

@arunhero99 - Thanks buddy !!

1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, 99/70

The successive term for a/b is formed as (a + 2b) / (a + b).

PS:where a = 1, b =1 in starting and continue till end.

Waiting for the next one to come.. 😁

-CrazyBoy

@rishna-9pM65A • Mar 24, 2009

Woo!!😁

Now try this.

Add a '+' or a '-' sign in between the numbers so that the result is '100'. You cannot interchange the numbers here, they should be in the sequence from 1-9 as given below. Find out the different ways that makes the equation correct.

123456789 = 100

@saandeep-sreerambatla-hWHU1M • Mar 24, 2009

123 -45 -67 + 89 = 100😁😁

@rishna-9pM65A • Mar 24, 2009

Yup that's the way. now find out other such equations.

interesting one...

1) 1*2+3*4+5-6+78+9
2) 123+45-67+8-9

I am working on other sequences.. lets see If i can get a few more solution for this puzzle.

-Crazy 😁

@rishna-9pM65A • Mar 24, 2009

hey, you cannot use '*' , i mean should not use multiplcation here. Get the equation correct with only a + or - sign.

so, we'll consider the second one.

@CrazyBoy • Mar 24, 2009

Ok...

123-4-5-6-7+8-9
123+4-5+67-89
12-3-4+5-6+7+89

😁 Crazy

@rishna-9pM65A • Apr 2, 2009

solutions which i know...

123-45-67+89=100
12+3+4+5-6-7+89=100
12+3-4+5+67+8+9=100
1+23-4+56+7+8+9=100
1+23-4+5+6+78-9=100
1+2+34-5+67-8+9=100
1+2+3-4+5+6+78+9=100

hey Crazy, if you are getting bored even today, then here is another one

Find next number in the series...

1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, ?

Is it 1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, 91/64 ?

@rishna-9pM65A • Apr 2, 2009

hey what is the rule you applied here??

@CrazyBoy • Apr 3, 2009

g_rakesh2
Is it 1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, 91/64 ?

Buddy I am giving you general solution... so that you wont ask me the next number from the same sequence 😁

(a+2b)/(a+b)
=(91+2*64)/(91+64) = 219/155

Next please

@arunhero99-LRZv4M • Apr 8, 2009

here goes the next list:
