Question 1

In a sequence: 2, 5, 11, 23, 47, ___. What is the next number?

Accepted Answer

95

Answer

Each term is (previous × 2) + 1: 2→5→11→23→47→95.

Question 2

A series of shapes alternates between circles and squares. The circles increase in size each time they appear, and the squares decrease. If the 5th shape is a large circle, what is the 6th shape?

Accepted Answer

A small square

Answer

The pattern alternates circle-square; after the 5th shape (circle), the 6th must be a square, and squares decrease in size — so it is a small square.

Question 3

What number comes next in the sequence: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ___?

Accepted Answer

36

Answer

The sequence is perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4², 5²), so the next is 6² = 36.

Question 4

In a pattern, each row has one more shape than the previous: Row 1 has 1 triangle, Row 2 has 2 circles, Row 3 has 3 triangles, Row 4 has 4 circles. How many shapes are in Row 7, and what shape are they?

Accepted Answer

7 triangles

Answer

Odd rows have triangles and even rows have circles; Row 7 is odd, so it has 7 triangles.

Question 5

Find the missing number: 3, 6, 12, 24, ___, 96.

Accepted Answer

48

Answer

Each number is doubled: 3→6→12→24→48→96.
