I'm posting one puzzle, riddle, math, or statistical problem a day. Try to answer each one and post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the answer the next day. Even if you have the same answer as someone else, feel free to put up your answer, too!
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.

ReplyDeleteOoops, make a mistake on the first guess. I'm saying it's 168.
ReplyDelete340
ReplyDeleteJunk Logic: 5+8=13
ReplyDelete13x2=26
48+122=170
170x2=340
Looks like there were some different patterns here.
ReplyDeleteI was going for consecutive primes squared. Then you add or subtract 1 from the answer. So:
2^2 + 1 = 5.
3^2 - 1 = 8.
5^2 + 1 = 26.
7^2 - 1 = 48.
11^2 + 1 = 122.
13^2 - 1 = 168
