    Every next number is formed by reading out the previous number and counting how many times the number appears, in that sequence. That is, second number is formed by saing : One One.

    Third Number is reading out the second number: Two One

    One, One One, Two One, One Two One One, One One One Two Two One

    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😛.

    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 😕

    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.

  • shiwa436

    The series ends in .....,F,S,S. Which I believe, translates into Friday Saturday and Sunday. Can someone confirm?
  • shalini_goel14

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

    Friday Saturday and Sunday.
    Well done shiwa 😀. Your answer & explanation is absolutely correct.

    Now check the following:

  • shalini_goel14
    shalini_goel14
    Complete the following very simple sequence:

    364, 361, 19, 16, 4, 1, __ ?
  • silverscorpion
    silverscorpion
    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 ch
    durga ch
    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

    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 😁

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

    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.)

    @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.. 😁

    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

    interesting one...

    1) 1*2+3*4+5-6+78+9
