  1. What number comes next: 3, 6, 12, 24, ?

    Answer: 48

    Each term is double the previous term, so 24 × 2 = 48.

  2. What number comes next: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ?

    Answer: 37

    The differences are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, so 26 + 11 = 37.

  3. What letter comes next: A, C, F, J, O, ?

    Answer: U

    The skips grow by one each time (+2, +3, +4, +5, +6), so O + 6 = U.

  4. A solid cube is painted on all faces and cut into 27 equal small cubes. How many small cubes have exactly two painted faces?

    Answer: 12

    Only the 12 edge-middle cubes (one per cube edge) show exactly two painted faces.

  5. An analog clock is viewed in a vertical mirror and the real time is 3:00. What time does the reflection appear to show?

    Answer: 9:00

    A left-right mirror flips the clock horizontally, so the hour hand at 3 appears at 9.

  6. The lowercase letter "b" is rotated 180 degrees in the plane of the page. Which letter does it look like?

    Answer: q

    A 180-degree rotation flips the shape both horizontally and vertically, turning b into q.

  7. What number comes next: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ?

    Answer: 21

    Each term is the sum of the two before it (8 + 13 = 21).
