Question 1

What comes next in the sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16, ___?

Accepted Answer

32

Answer

Each term is double the previous one, so 16 × 2 = 32.

Question 2

Which letter continues the series? B, D, F, H, ___

Accepted Answer

J

Answer

Each letter skips one position in the alphabet (even-position letters), so H is followed by J.

Question 3

Find the next number: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ___

Accepted Answer

13

Answer

This is the Fibonacci sequence; each term equals the sum of the two preceding terms: 5 + 8 = 13.

Question 4

What is the next number in the sequence: 100, 90, 81, 73, 66, ___?

Accepted Answer

60

Answer

The differences decrease by 1 each step (10, 9, 8, 7, 6), so 66 − 6 = 60.
