In a sequence: 2, 5, 11, 23, 47, ___. What is the next number?
Answer: 95
Each term is (previous × 2) + 1: 2→5→11→23→47→95.
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?
Answer: A small square
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.
What number comes next in the sequence: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ___?
Answer: 36
The sequence is perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4², 5²), so the next is 6² = 36.
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?
Answer: 7 triangles
Odd rows have triangles and even rows have circles; Row 7 is odd, so it has 7 triangles.
Find the missing number: 3, 6, 12, 24, ___, 96.
Answer: 48
Each number is doubled: 3→6→12→24→48→96.
In a matrix: Row 1: 2, 4, 8; Row 2: 3, 9, 27; Row 3: 4, 16, ___. What is the missing value?
Answer: 64
Each row follows the pattern n, n², n³: Row 3 is 4, 4²=16, 4³=64.
