1. Number Analogies
1.1 加
1. Explanation
The correct answer is 23.
The simplest connection between 78 and 87 is addition, as 78+9=87. This connection
also suits the second pair, as 34+9=43 and, therefore, it is the correct connection.
Applying it on the third pair of numbers shows the answer is 14+9=23.
Side Note: The connection between the numbers must be mathematical and not based
on the appearance of the numbers. Therefore, although the digits switch places in the
first two pairs, this connection is not mathematical and therefore it is incorrect.
2. Explanation
Look at the numbers in the first pair and try to find the rule they follow. How do we
get from 19 to 31?
We see that if we add 12 to the first number, we get the second number.
19 + 12 = 31.
Does this rule work for the second pair, as well?

When we add 12 to 31, we get 43.
31 + 12 = 43.
The rule "add 12 to the first number to get the second" works in both pairs, so in the
next pair we should also add 12:
43 + 12 = 55.
Therefore, 55 is the correct answer.
3. Explanation
Look at the numbers in the first pair and try to find the rule they follow.
How do we get from 72 to 94? We see that if we add 22 to the first number, we get
the second number.
72 + 22 = 94.
Does this rule work for the second pair, as well? When we add 22 to 35, we get 57.
35 + 22 = 57.
The rule "add 22 to the first number to get the second" works in both pairs, so in the
next pair we should also add 22:
1
3 + 22 = 25.
4. Explanation
The answer is 7.5.
There are two ways to answer this question:
Solution A - Recognizing the Series
6 and 7 are following numbers, therefore knowing the number they point to can help
you understand the series.
Notice 6 is also the following number of 5, which is the number you are asked about.
Thus, understanding the series will give you an immediate answer.
The numbers given in ascending order are:

[5→?]
[6→8]
[7→8.5]
In order to get 8 out of 6 you need to add 2, and in order to get 8.5 out of 7 you need
to add 1.5. Visually:
6+2=8
7+1.5=8.5
Since 6 and 7 are following numbers, you can deduce that every following number is
added with 0.5 less than the one preceding it. Therefore, 5 will be added with a
number greater by 0.5 than 2, which is 2.5, creating the series:
5+2.5 = 7.5
6+2=8
7+1.5=8.5
Therefore, The correct answer is 7.5.
Solution B – Finding the connection
The simplest connection between 7 and 8.5 would be to find their

difference: 7+1.5=8.5
In order to answer this question, you must check to see if that connection fits the rest
of the given numbers:
6+1.5≠8
2
This connection does not fit all of the numbers, and therefore it is incorrect.
Another connection possible is to apply multiplication or division. 7 is a prime
number and therefore is only divisible by itself and 1. Moreover, in order to find a
mathematical connection between the two numbers you have to find a way to get 0.5
out of 7. The simplest way would be to divide it by 2:
7÷2=3.5
However, although the number includes 0.5, it is not the added number. So, in order
to get from 3.5 to 8.5 you can just add 5:
3.5+5=8.5.
To summarize: The connection between 7 and 8.5 can be:

7÷2+5=8.5
Once you have found a connection, apply it on the rest of the group to see if it fits:
6÷2+5=3+5=8
The connection fits all the numbers and therefore it is correct. Apply it to the last
number given to get the result:
5÷2+5=2.5+5=7.5
Therefore, The correct answer is 7.5.
3
1.2 减
1. Explanation
Look for the pattern in the first series of numbers. The relationship between 46 and 39
is the subtraction of 7.
46 - 7 = 39.
The relationship between 51 and 44 is also the subtraction of 7.

51- 7 = 44.
So in the next series we should also subtract 7:

32 - 7 = 25.
2. Explanation
How do we get from 68 to 42? We see that if we subtract 26 from the first number, we
get the second number.
68 - 26 = 42.
Does this rule work for the second pair, as well? When we subtract 26 from 31, we
get 5.
31 - 26 = 5.
The rule "subtract 26 from the first number to get the second" works in both pairs, so
in the next pair we should also subtract by 26:
94 - 26 = 68.
4
1.3 乘
1. Explanation
Look for the pattern in the first series. The difference between 10 and 30 is the
multiplication of 3.
10 x 3 = 30
Same with the second series, the difference between the 3 and 9 is the multiplication
of 3.
3 x 3= 9
So for the last series you should also multiply by 3.
12 x 3= 36.
?= 36.
2. Explanation
The first pair of numbers remains the same (also can be considered as 1+0=1),
however the second pair does not share that connection. In addition, the only number
1 can be multiplied by, in order to get 1, is itself (1×1=1).
Since 3×1≠9 the connection cannot be multiplying by 1. Therefore, the only
connection possible is multiplying 3 by itself: 3×3=9.
Thus, after applying the same connection to the number in the third pair given, the
answer is 5×5=25.
Side note:
Multiplying a number by itself is called the square of the number or raising to the
power of 2.
3. Explanation
The simplest relation between 9 and 99 is division, as 99÷9=11, which can be
rephrased as 9×11=99. Applying the same relation to the second pair
shows 11×11=121, which is correct, and therefore this is the correct relation.
Therefore, the correct answer is 13×11=143.
on the appearance of the numbers. Therefore, although a connection such as “the
number on the left side appears twice on the right side” exists in the given example,
this connection is not mathematical and therefore it is incorrect.
4. Explanation
How do we get from 21 to 84?
We see that if we multiply the first number by 4, we get the second number.
5
21 x 4 = 84.

When we multiply 7 by 4, we get 28. 7 x4 = 28.
The rule "multiply the first number by 4 to get the second" works in both pairs, so in
the next pair we should also multiply by 4 : 14 x 4 = 56.
5. Explanation
We see that if we multiply the first number by 6, we get the second number:
7 x 6 = 42.
When we multiply 16 by 6, we get 96:
16 x 6 = 96.
the next pair we should also multiply by 6:
5 x 6 = 30.
6. Explanation
The simplest connection between 7 and 70 is multiplication: 7×10=70 (can be found
easily by dividing 70÷7).
The second pair shares the same connection, as 11×10=110, which means this is the
correct connection.
Applying it to the number given in the third pair yields the correct answer:
303×10=3030.
7. Explanation
5 × 8 = 40.

We see that if we divide the first number by 5, we get the second number. 40 : 5 =
8.

When we divide 35 by 5, we get 7. 35 : 5 = 7.
The rule "divide the first number by 5 to get the second" works in both pairs, so in the

333-222=111
333÷3=111
The second connection matches the first pair, as well, as:
123-222≠41
123÷3=41
Therefore, the second connection is the correct one, and the answer is 240÷3=80.
4. Explanation
rephrased as 505÷5=101. Applying the same relation to the second pair
shows 75÷5=15, which is the correct relation.
17

35 ÷ 5 = 7
The difference between 50 and 10 is also the division of 5.

50 ÷ 5 = 10
The next series of numbers should follow the same pattern, meaning that the
difference between 30 and ? should be the division of 5, so:
30 ÷ 5 = 6
?=6

1.5 混合
1. Explanation
To find the missing number, you must find the rule connecting the numbers in the first
and second pairs and apply it on the last number given.
The simplest connection of 15 and 3 is division, since 15 is divisible by 3:15 ÷ 3 = 5
Therefore, the connection can be phrased as 3 × 5 = 15.
However, it does not match the second pair as 4 × 5 ≠ 18, which means there must be
another connection.
15 is also divisible by 3:
15 ÷ 3 = 5
However, this is not what the number 15 points to. To get 3, the result (5) must be
reduced by 2, like so:
15 ÷ 3 - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3
This means the connection can be phrased as:
X ÷ 3 - 2 (Where X is the number on the left side of the pair and the result is on the
right side of the pair).
You can see this connection is also kept for the second pair:
18 ÷ 3 - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4
Once you have found the connection, all that’s left is to apply that connection on the
last pair and get the result:
21 ÷ 3 - 2 = 7 - 2 = 5
2. Explanation
The simplest connection between 11 and 6 is 11-5=6, however it does not match the
second pair of numbers, as 15-5≠8.
11 is a prime number, which means it is only divisible by itself and 1. In addition, 11
is bigger than 6, so 6 must be increased using multiplication to a number close to 11.
The simplest way is 6×2=12, and in order to get 11 the connection would
be 6×2-1=12-1=11 (Or alternatively (11+1)÷2=6)).
This connection matches the second pair as (15+1)÷2=8 (or 8×2-1=16-1=15)).
Since the connection is correct, all that is left is to apply the connection on the last
pair:
(9+1)÷2=5
Therefore, the correct answer is 5.
3. Explanation
The simplest connection between 6 and 25 is 6+19=25, however it does not apply to
the second pair, as 3+19≠19.
27
Since a simple addition is not enough, multiplication might be the answer. In order to
connect 6 to 25 it is possible to check different options:
6×2+13=25
6×3+7=25
6×4+1=25
Then, checking if one of the connections matches the second pair of numbers given:
3×2+13=19
3×3+7≠19
3×4+1≠19
The first connection matches both pairs, and therefore the answer is 4×2+13=21.
4. Explanation
81 is not divisible by 8, therefore the connection will probably involve two steps. To
get to 81 from 8, a simple way would be to multiply 8 by 10 and add 1, like
so: 8×10+1=81.
However, this connection does not suit the second pair, as 7×10+1≠72. On the other
hand, it is easy to notice that 7×10+2=72.
Therefore, the connection between them, in descending order, is:

8×10+1=81
7×10+2=72
The numbers on the right side of the pair are multiplied by 10 and a different number
is added to them. As 7 and 8 are following numbers, you can notice that the preceding
number is added with a number greater by 1 than its successor.
In addition, 54 is smaller than 72, so the number paired with it will be smaller than 7.
Applying that connection on the predecessor of 7, which is 6, shows:
6×10+3=63
63 is still bigger than 54, therefore you need to check if the connection fits 6
predecessor, which is 5:
5×10+4=54
The connection matches all the pairs of numbers; therefore, the correct answer is 5.
Alternative Solution
Students who are familiar with the multiplication table can notice 81, 72 and 54 are all
multiples of 9 and use that to find a connection:
81=9×9
72=9×8
54=9×6
However, instead of having the numbers nine and eight for the first two pairs, you see
eight and seven (that is 9 – 1 = 8 and 8 – 1 = 7). Therefore, instead of six, you should
have 6 – 1 = 5.
28
5. Explanation
A simple connection between 306 and 150 is 306-156=150, however it does not
match the second pair of numbers, as 800-156≠397.
306 is not divisible by 150 and therefore the connection will probably involve two
steps. In addition, 306 is bigger than 150, so 150 must be increased using
multiplication to a number close to 306.
The simplest way is 150×2+6=306 (Or alternatively 306÷2-3=153-3=150)).
This connection matches the second pair
as 800÷2-3=400-3=397 (or 397×2+6=794+6=800) and, therefore, this is the correct
connection.
All that is left is to apply the connection to the last pair:
750÷2-3=375-3=372
6. Explanation
The simplest connection between 42 and 13 would be to find their
difference: 42-29=13
84-29≠27
This connection does not fit all the numbers, and therefore it is incorrect.
Another connection possible is to apply multiplication or division. 42 is not divisible
by 13, so the connection probably involves two steps. You should look for a number
to multiply 13 with, so that the product will be close to 42 and add/subtract the
difference, such as:
13×2+16=42
13×3+3=42
13×4-10=42
Of those connections, the second option does match the second pair, as:
27×2+16≠84
27×3+3=84
27×4-10≠84
Therefore, the second connection is correct. Applying it on the third pair creates the
equation ?×3+3=69, which makes the correct answer 22.
7. Explanation
The correct answer is 7.5.
29
[5→?]
[6→8]
[7→8.5]
6+2=8
7+1.5=8.5
5+2.5 = 7.5
6+2=8
7+1.5=8.5
Therefore, the correct answer is 7.5.

6+1.5≠8
7÷2=3.5
3.5+5=8.5.
7÷2+5=8.5
6÷2+5=3+5=8
5÷2+5=2.5+5=7.5

8. Explanation
There are two simple connections between the first pair, 1 and 12:
1×12=12
1+11=12
However, the second pair (2 and 16) does not share those connections, as:
2×12≠16
2+11≠16
Therefore, there must be a less simple connection.
Solution A
The first possible connection would be a connection made from multiplication and
additions/subtractions. Some of the possibilities are:
1×2+10=12
1×3+9=12
1×4+8=12
1×5+7=12
More connections that can be written, however you should try the simple ones first.
Checking those connections on the second pair yields:
2×2+10=14
2×3+9=15
2×4+8=16
2×5+7=17
The only connection which applies for both pairs is the third one: X ×4+8, where X is
the number on the left side of the pair.
Therefore, the correct number is 4×4+8=24.
Solution B
1 and 2 are following numbers, therefore knowing the numbers they point to can help
[1→12]
[2→16]
[3→?]
[4→?]
In order to get 12 out of 1 you need to add 11 and in order to get 16 out of 2 you need
to add 14. Visually:
1+11=12
2+14=16
added with 3 more than the one preceding it. Therefore, 3 will be added with a
number great by 3 than 14, which is 17, followed by 4 which will be added with a
number greater than 17 by 3, creating the series:
1+11=12
2+14=16
31
3+17=20
4+20=24
9. Explanation
First, you must find a connection between the first pair of numbers. The simplest
connections are additions and subtractions, however it does not fit both pairs, as:
96-73=23, however, 72-73≠17.
This connection does not match both pairs and therefore is incorrect.
Another possible connection can involve multiplication or division. 96 is not divisible
by 23, thus you need to find a divisor for 96 that will result in a quotient close to 23.
A few divisors of 96 are:
96÷2=48
96÷3=32
96÷4=24
24 is the successor of 23, and the best option from the options above. Therefore, we
can phrase the connection between 96 and 23 as:
96÷4-1=23
This connection also matches the second pair, as 72÷4-1=17, and therefore it is
correct.
Applying it to 52 yields 52÷4-1=12, which is the correct answer.
10. Explanation
The simplest connection between 7 and 3 is subtraction: 7-4=3, however it does not
match the second pair, as 17-4≠8.
Therefore, there must be a different connection. As 7 is not divisible by 3, the
connection will probably involve two steps.
To get a 7 out of 3 using multiplication, there are a few simple options:
3×2+1=7
3×3-2=7
Applying this connection on the second pair of numbers shows:
8×2+1=17
8×3-2=22
Since the first connection matches both pairs, it is the correct connection. Applying
that connection on the third pair yields ?×2+1=15, and solving this equation reveals
the answer is 7.
11. Explanation
The simplest connection between 6 and 19 is addition: 6+13=19, however it does not
match the second pair as, 16+13≠49.
32
As 19 is not divisible by 6, the connection probably involves two steps. You should
look for a number to multiply 6 with, so that the product will be close to 19, such as:
6×2+7=19
6×3+1=19
16×2+7≠49
16×3+1=49
Therefore, the second connection is correct, and applying it to 13 yields 13×3+1=40,
which makes 40 the correct answer.
12. Explanation
of the given numbers: 21-18≠11
by 19, so the connection probably involves two steps.
You should look for a number to multiply 19 with so that the product will be close to
37 and add/subtract the difference, such as:
19×2-1=37
19×3-20=37
Of those connections, only the first option matches the second pair, as:
11×2-1=21
11×3-20≠21
Therefore, the first connection is correct. Applying it on the third pair creates the
equation ?×2-1=15, which makes the correct answer 8.
13. Explanation
The simplest connection between 22 and 91 would be to find their difference, which
is: 22+69=91.
In order to answer this question, you must check if that connection fits the rest of the
given numbers:
25+69≠103
You should look for a number to multiply 22 with, so that the product will be close to
22×2+47=91
33
22×3+25=91
22×4+3=91
Of those connections, the third option does match the second pair, as:
25×2+47≠103
25×3+25≠103
25×4+3=103
Therefore, the third connection is correct. Thus, the correct answer is 18×4+3=75.
14. Explanation
The simplest connection between 7 and 36 would be to addition: 7+29=36.
pairs. For the second pair:
8+29≠41
This connection does not fit all the pairs, and therefore it is incorrect.
by 7, so the connection probably involves two steps. You should look for a number to
multiply 7 with, so that the product will be close to 36 and add/subtract the difference,
such as:
7×3+15=36
7×4+8=36
7×5+1=36
8×3+15≠41
8×4+8≠41
8×5+1=41
15. Explanation
get from 10 to 21?
We can do that by adding 11 to 10: 10 + 11 = 21.
But does this rule work for the second pair, as well? When we add 11 to 3 we get 14
and not 7, so this is not the right rule in this question, because the rule must apply to
all pairs.
How else can we get from 10 to 21?

21 is very close to the result of multiplying 10 by 2, which is 20, with the addition of
1:
10 × 2 + 1 = 21.
34
Does this rule work for the second pair, as well? When we multiply 3 by 2 and add 1,
we get 7:
3 × 2 + 1 = 7.
We see that the rule "multiply the first number by 2 and add 1 to get the second"
works in both pairs, so in the next pair we should also multiply by 2 and add 1:
2 × 2 + 1 = 5.
16. Explanation

20 is very close to the result of multiplying 7 by 3, which is 21, and subtracting 1:
7 × 3 - 1 = 20.
Does this rule work for the second pair, as well? When we multiply 4 by 3 and
subtract 1, we get 11:
4 × 3 - 1 = 11.
We see that the rule "multiply the first number by 3 and subtract 1 to get the second"
works in both pairs, so in the next pair we should also multiply by 3 and subtract 1:
5 × 3 - 1 = 14.
Therefore, 14 is the correct answer

5 × 4 + 1 = 21.
6 × 4 + 1 = 25.
18. Explanation
get from 20 to 11?
We can do that by subtracting 9 from 20: 20 - 9 = 11. But does this rule work for the
second pair, as well? When we subtract 9 from 10 we get 1 and not 6, so this is not the
right rule in this question, because the rule must apply to all pairs.

11 is very close to the result of dividing 20 by 2, which is 10, with the addition of 1:
20 ÷ 2 + 1 = 11.
Does this rule work for the second pair, as well? When we divide 10 by 2 and add 1,
we get 6:
10 ÷ 2 + 1 = 6.
We see that the rule "divide the first number by 2 and add 1 to get the second" works
in both pairs, so in the next pair we should also divide by 2 and add 1:
8 ÷ 2 + 1 = 5.

But does this rule work for the second pair, as well? When we subtract 21 from 22 we
get 1 and not 12, so this is not the right rule in this question, because the rule must
apply to all pairs.

44 ÷ 2 + 1 = 23.
we get 12:
22 ÷ 2 + 1 = 12.
32 ÷ 2 + 1 = 17.

Does this rule work for the second pair, as well? When we divide 24 by 4 and subtract
1, we get 5:
24 ÷ 4 - 1 = 5.
We see that the rule "divide the first number by 4 and subtract 1 to get the second"
works in both pairs, so in the next pair we should also divide by 4 and subtract 1:
16 ÷ 4 - 1 = 3.
24. Explanation
How do we get from 8 to 20? We can do it by adding 12 to 8:
8 + 12 = 20.
and not 26, so this is not the right rule in this question, because the same rule must
apply to all pairs.
How else can we get from 8 to 20? Note that 20 is pretty close to the result of
multiplying 8 by 2, which is 16, with the addition of 4:
8 × 2 + 4 = 20.
we get 26.
11 × 2 + 4 = 26.

8×2+1=17
8×3-2=22
the answer is 7.
81. Explanation
connections are additions and subtractions; however, it does not fit both pairs:
54 – 37 = 17
However, 63 – 37 = 26 ≠ 20, so this rule is not the right one.
70
Another possible rule could involve multiplication or division. 54 is not divisible by
17, so you need to try to find a divisor for 54 that will result in a quotient close to 17.
Some divisors of 54 are:
54 ÷ 2 = 27
54 ÷ 3 = 18
Therefore, two possible connections between 54 and 17 are:
54 ÷ 2 - 10 = 17
54 ÷ 3 – 1 = 17
Try applying these connections to the second pair:
63 ÷ 2 - 10 ≠ 20 (63 is not even divisible by 2)
63 ÷ 3 – 1 = 21 – 1 = 20
Since the second connection is compatible with both pairs, we know that it is the
correct connection and the rule is: “divide the first number by 4 and subtract 1 to get
the second number” (X ÷ 3 – 1, where X is the first number of each pair).
Apply the rule you found on the third pair to get the answer:
75 ÷ 3 – 1 = 25 – 1 = 24

and not 30, so this is not the right rule in this question because the rule must apply to
all pairs.
How else can we get from 0 to 2? Since 0 times any number equals 0, it will be
simpler to find a rule for the second pair first.
So, how else can we get from 14 to 30?
You can multiply 14 by 2 and add 2: 14 × 2 + 2 = 30
Does this rule work for the first pair, as well?
When we multiply 0 by 2 and add 2: 0 × 2 + 2 = 2.
We see that the rule "multiply the first number by 2, add 2 and get the second
number" works in both pairs, so in the next pair we should also multiply by 2 and add
2: 15 × 2 + 2 = 32

2. Number Series
2.1 加
1. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by one-half (0.5).
The pattern is: +0.5, +0.5, +0.5, ...
The last number in this series is 3.5, so the next number in the series should be larger
than 3.5 by 0.5.
3.5 + 0.5 = 4
2. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 4 is added, then 2 is added; then 4 again,
then 2, and so on.
The pattern is: +4, +2, +4, +2, ...
The last two numbers in the series are 13 and 17. 17 is larger than 13 by 4, so the
next number in the series should be larger than 17 by 2.
17 + 2 = 19
3. Explanation
then 0, and so on.
The pattern is: +3, +0, +3, +0,...
Another way to look at it is that starting with the second number, each number repeats
itself before the next stage of the pattern, so essentially the pattern is as follows:
every pair of numbers is larger than the pair before it by 3.
or: +3, +3, +3, ... by pairs (except for the first number).
The last two numbers in the series are 7 and 10, 10 is larger than 7 by 3, so the next
number in the series should be a repeat of the last number (the number 10).
or: 10 + 0 = 10
4. Explanation
then 5, and so on.
The pattern is: +2, +5, +2, +5, ...
90
number in the series should be larger than 15 by 2.
15 + 2 = 17
5. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by three-tenths (0.3).
The pattern is: +0.3, +0.3, +0.3, ...
than 1.6 by 0.3.
1.6 + 0.3 = 1.9
Therefore, 1.9 is the correct answer.
6. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by 15.
The pattern is: +15, +15, +15, ...
The last number in this series is 80, so the next number in the series should be larger
than 80 by 15.
80 + 15 = 95
7. Explanation
then 9, and so on.
The pattern is: +7,+9,+7,+9,...
The last two numbers in the series are 62 and 69, 69 is larger than 62 by 7, so the
69+9=78
8. Explanation
In this series, we have a pattern that alternates between 5 and a number pattern. In
other words, every other number is a 5, and between the 5's we have a number pattern
where every number is larger than the number before it by 1.
The pattern is:
91
The last two numbers in this series are 3 and 5. Since the last number was 5, the next
number in the series should be a number that is 1 more than 3.
3+1=4
9. Explanation
The pattern is: +2 ,+2 ,+2, ...
The last number in this series is 28, the next number in the series should be larger
than 28 by 2.
28 + 2 = 30
10. Explanation
then 1, and so on.
The pattern is: +3, +1, +3, +1,...
12 + 3 = 15
11. Explanation
then 3, and so on.
The pattern is: +4, +3, +4, +3, ...
22 + 4 = 26
12. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 1 is added, then again 1 is added, then 2
is added; then 1 again, then again 1, then 2, and so on.
The pattern is: +1, +1, +2, +1, +1, +2, ...
(It is always important to examine a pattern carefully in order not to miss a small
change in the pattern like the one that takes place here.)
The last three numbers in the series are 10, 11, and 12; 11 is larger than 10 by 1, and
12 is larger than 11 by 1. Therefore, the next number in the series should be larger
than 12 by 2.
92
12 + 2 = 14
13. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by two-tenths (0.2).
The pattern is: +0.2, +0.2, +0.2, ...
than 7.9 by 0.2.
7.9 + 0.2 = 8.1
14. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 1 is added, then again 1 is added, then 2
is added, then again 2 is added; then the pattern repeats itself: 1 is added, then again 1
is added, then 2 is added, then again 2 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: +1, +1, +2, +2, +1, +1, +2, +2, ...
than 14 by 1, (as we have passed the part of the pattern where we add 2 to each
number, and returned to the part where we add 1 to each number).
14 + 1 = 15
15. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by four-hundredths
(0.04).
The pattern is: +0.04, +0.04, +0.04, ...
The last number in this series is 0.18, so the next number in the series should be
larger than 0.18 by 0.04.
0.18 + 0.04 = 0.22
16. Explanation
then 2, and so on.
The pattern is: +8, +2, +8, +2, ...

18. Explanation
The pattern is: +11, +11, +11, ...
The last number in this series is 47, the next number in the series should be larger
than 47 by 11.
47 + 11 = 58
19. Explanation
The pattern is: +14, +14, +14, ...
The last number in this series is 79, the next number in the series should be larger than
79 by 14.
79 + 14 = 93
20. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first 5 is added, then 4 is added, then 3 is added,
then 2 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: +5, +4, +3, +2, ...
The last two numbers in this series are 13 and 15. 15 is larger than 13 by 2, so the next
number in the series should be bigger than 15 by 1.
15 + 1 = 16.
94
21. Explanation
then 4 is added again, then 5 is added, then 6 is added, then 6 is added again and so
on.
The pattern is: +2+3+4 | +4+5+6 | +6 ...
The operation that we use to change numbers is always addition, but sometimes the
number we add is repeated. We can see that this happens every 3 numbers, creating
sets of 3 operations, and then the last added number is added again.
Which number should we use next? We see that the last number added was 6, and it
was added twice, so we are in the middle of the set and should increase the number
we add by 1 (6+1=7).
To find the next number we should calculate: 31+7=38.
22. Explanation
then 5 is added again, then 7 is added, then 9 is added and so on.
The pattern is: +5+7+9 | +5+7+9 | ...
number we add is repeated. We can see that this happens every 3 numbers,
creating sets of 3 operations.
Which number should we use next?

We see that the last number added was 9, so we are at the beginning of a new set and
should now add 5:
43 + 5 = 48.
23. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows:
95
First 4 is added, then 6 is added, then 8 is added, then 4 is added again, then 6 is
added, then 8 is added and so on.
The pattern is: +4+6+8 | +4+6+8 | ...

should now add 4:
39 + 4 = 43.
24. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: First 4 is added, then 5 is added, then 6 is
added, then 7 is added, then 8 is added, then 9 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: +4, +5, +6, +7, +8, +9 …
We can see that each time, we add a larger number by 1 to get the next number.
The last two numbers in this series are 47 and 56. 56 is greater than 47 by 9, so the
next number in the series should be greater than 56 by 10:
56 + 10 = 66.
25. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: the first three numbers are the first three
multiples of two—
2, 4, 6
The second three numbers are the first three multiples of 4 (which is double two.)
This means each number is double the previous sequence—
4, 8, 12
Therefore, the final set would be the first three multiplies of 8 (which is double four.)
8, 16, 24
96
You have the first number, which is eight. Therefore, the missing number should be 2
x 8 = 16.
26. Explanation

First 4 is added, then 6 is added, then 8 is added, then 4 is added again, then 6 is
added, then 8 is added and so on.
The pattern is: +4+6+8 | +4+6+8 | ...

We see that the last number added was 8, so we are at the beginning of a new set
and should now add 4:
39 + 4 = 43.
27. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: First 4 is added, then 5 is added, then 6 is
added, then 7 is added, then 8 is added, then 9 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: +4, +5, +6, +7, +8, +9 …
We can see that each time, we add a larger number by 1 to get the next number.
The last two numbers in this series are 47 and 56. 56 is greater than 47 by 9, so the
next number in the series should be greater than 56 by 10:
56 + 10 = 66.

29. Explanation
then 4 is added again, then 5 is added, then 6 is added, then 6 is added again and so
on.
The pattern is: +2+3+4 | +4+5+6 | +6 ...
number we add is repeated. We can see that this happens every 3 numbers, creating
sets of 3 operations, and then the last added number is added again.
Which number should we use next? We see that the last number added was 6, and it
was added twice, so we are in the middle of the set and should increase the number
we add by 1 (6+1=7).
To find the next number we should calculate: 31+7=38.
30. Explanation
The pattern is: +5+7+9 | +5+7+9 | ...
98

43 + 5 = 48.
31. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by one-half (0.5).
The pattern is: +0.5, +0.5, +0.5, ...

42. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by two-tenths (0.2).
The pattern is: +0.2, +0.2, +0.2, ...

7.9 + 0.2 = 8.1
43. Explanation
added, then again 2 is added; then the pattern repeats itself: 1 is added, then again 1 is
added, then 2 is added, then again 2 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: +1, +1, +2, +2, +1, +1, +2, +2, ...
than 14 by 1, (as we have passed the part of the pattern where we add 2 to each
number, and returned to the part where we add 1 to each number).
14 + 1 = 15
44. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by four-hundredths
(0.04).
The pattern is: +0.04, +0.04, +0.04, ...

58. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is such that each number is the sum of the two preceding
ones:
2 3 5 8 13 21
2+3=5
3+5=8
5 + 8 = 13
8 + 13 = 21
Accordingly, in order to get the next number in the series, we need to add the last two
numbers together:
13 + 21 = 34

then 9, and so on.
The pattern is: +7,+9,+7,+9,...
111
69+9=78
66. Explanation
In this series, we can look at the pattern as the combination of two distinct patterns
that alternate. One pattern (the odd terms) is a series of numbers that increases by 4,
and the other pattern (the even terms) is a series that increases by 3
The odd terms pattern is: 5, 8, 9, 11, 13,... +4,+4,+4,…..
The even term pattern is: 5, 8, 9, 11, 13,... +3, +3 ,+3,…..
We are missing the sixth number, which is an even term. Therefore it should be larger
than the last even term (the fourth number) by 3. The fourth number is 11, so:
11+3=14
67. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 2 is added, then 1 is added, then 0 is
added, and so on.
The difference pattern is: 2, 1, 0, -1, ...
The last two numbers in this series are 7 and 7. 7 equals 7, so the following number in
the series should be smaller than 7 by 1. Before 0, the pattern increases. It should
decrease after 0 since it transforms into negative numbers.
7-1=6
112
2.2 减
1. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 1 is subtracted, then again 1 is subtracted,
then 2 is subtracted; then 1 again, then again 1, then 2, and so on.
The pattern is: -1, -1, -2, -1, -1, -2, ...
The last three numbers in the series are 89, 88, and 87; 88 is smaller than 89 by 1,
and 87 is smaller than 88 by 1. Therefore, the next number in the series should be
smaller than 87 by 2.
87 - 2 = 85
2. Explanation
where every number is smaller than the number before it by 2.
The pattern is:

number in the series should be a number that is 2 less than 3.
3-2=1
3. Explanation
In this series, every number is smaller than the number before it by 3.
The pattern is: -3, -3, -3, ...
The last number in this series is 4, the next number in the series should be smaller
than 4 by 3.
4-3=1
4. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: First 7 is subtracted, then 8 is subtracted, then
9 is subtracted, then 10 is subtracted, and so on.
The pattern is: -7, -8, -9, -10 …
113
We can see that each time, we subtract a larger number by 1 to get the next number.
The last two numbers in this series are 29 and 19. Since 19 is 29 subtracted by 10, the
next number in the series should be 19 subtracted by 11:
19 – 11 = 8.
5. Explanation
We can look at the pattern as the combination of two separate patterns that alternate.
One pattern (the odd terms) is a series of numbers that decrease by 2, and the other
pattern (the even terms) is a series that decreases by 1.
The pattern is: 9, 8, 7, 7, 5, 6, 3, ...
We are missing the eighth number which is an even term, therefore it should be
smaller than the last even term (the sixth number) by 1. The sixth number is 6, so:
6 - 1 = 5.
114
2.3 乘
1. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: the second number is twice the first number,
the third number is twice the second number, and then another set begins: the fourth
number is twice the first number, the fifth number is twice the fourth number, the
sixth number is twice the fifth, and the seventh again opens another set, doubling the
fourth number.
The pattern is: G, G×2, G×4, G×2, (G×2)×2, (G×2)×4, (G×2)×2...
The seventh number opens a new set, so the next step is to double it by 2 to get the
eighth number: 4 × 2 = 8.
2. Explanation
multiples of two—
2, 4, 6
4, 8, 12
8, 16, 24
x 8 = 16.
3. Explanation

First the number is multiplied by 2, then by 3, then by 2, then by 3, then by 2 again
and so on.
The pattern is: ×2, ×3, ×2, ×3, ×2...
115
The last two numbers in this series are 36 and 108. 108 is 3 times 36, so the next
number in the series should be 108 multiplied by 2:
108 × 2 = 216.
4. Explanation
that alternate. For example, one pattern (the odd terms) is a series of numbers
multiplied by 3, and the other pattern (the even terms) is a series multiplied by 2.
The odd terms pattern is: 1,4,3,8,9 ... x3,x3,x3,….

the even terms pattern is: 1,4,3,8,9 ... x2,x2,x2,…..
We are missing the sixth number, which is an even term. Therefore it should be
bigger than the last term twice as much. The fourth number is 8, so:
8 x 2 = 16
116
5. Explanation
6. Explanation
In this series, we can look at the pattern as the combination of two separate patterns
The odd terms pattern is: 2,1,6,2,18,4 ... x3,x3,x3,….
the even terms pattern is: 2,1,6,2,18,4... x2,x2,x2,…..
We are missing the seventh number, which is an odd term. Therefore it should be
bigger than the last odd term (the fifth number) twice as much. The fifth number is 18,
so:
18 x 3 = 54
7. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, multiply by 8, then by 6, and then by 4;
then 2, and so on(multiplication is decreasing by 2).
The pattern is: x8, x6, x4, x2, x0,...
117
The last two numbers in the series are 192 and 384. 384 is larger than 192, twice as
much. To get the last number in the series, we need to multiply 384 by 0, so:
384 x 0 = 0
8. Explanation
The odd terms pattern is: 1,1,4,3,16 ... x4,x4,x4,….
the even terms pattern is: 1,1,4,3,16 ... x3,x3,x3,…..
We are missing the sixth number, which is an even term. Therefore it should be larger
than the last even term (the fourth number) three times as much. The fourth number is
3, so:
3x3=9
9. Explanation
The correct answer is -30.
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, multiply by 5, then by 3, and then by 1,
and so on(the number pattern is decreased by 2 each step).
The pattern is: x5, x3, x1, x-1 ,...
The last two numbers in the series are 30 and 30. 30 is equal to 30, so to get the last
number in the series, we need to multiply 30 by -1, so:
30 x -1 = -30
10. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: the second number is twice the first number,
the third number is twice the second number, and then another set begins: the fourth
number is twice the first number, the fifth number is twice the fourth number, the
sixth number is twice the fifth, and the seventh again opens another set, doubling the
fourth number.
The pattern is: G, G×2, G×4, G×2, (G×2)×2, (G×2)×4, (G×2)×2...
The seventh number opens a new set, so the next step is to double it by 2 to get the
eighth number: 4 × 2 = 8.
118
2.4 混合
1. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 2 is added, then 4 is subtracted; then 2
is added again, then 4 is subtracted, and so on.
The pattern is: +2, -4, +2, -4, ...
number in the series should be smaller than 7 by 4.
7-4=3
2. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 2 is subtracted, then 4 is added; then
again 2 is subtracted, then 4 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: -2, +4, -2, +4, ...
10 - 2 = 8
3. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, two is added, then one is subtracted;
then two is added again, then one is subtracted, and so on.
The pattern is: +2, -1, +2, -1, ...
The last two numbers in this series are 9 and 11, 11 is larger than 9 by 2, so the next
11 - 1 = 10
4. Explanation
that alternate. One pattern (the odd terms) is a series of numbers that increase by 2,
and the other pattern (the even terms) is a series that decreases by 2.
The pattern is: 16, 5, 14, 7, 12, 9, 10, 11, ...
We are missing the ninth number which is an even term, therefore it should be smaller
than the last even term (the seventh number) by 2. The seventh number is 10, so:
10 - 2 = 8
119
5. Explanation
In this series, every number is smaller than the number before it by 1, but with an
alternating sign [(-),(+),(-),(+),...].
The number pattern is: -1, -1, -1, -1, ...

The sign pattern is : -, +, -, +, ...
than 15 by 1.
15 - 1 = 14
Since the last number (15) is positive, the next number should be negative.
Therefore, -14 is the correct answer, and 14 is incorrect.
6. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 11 is subtracted, then 10 is added, then 9
is subtracted, then 8 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: -11, +10, -9, +8, ...
The last two numbers in this series are -3 and 1, 1 is larger than -3 by 4, so the next
1 - 3 = -2
Alternatively, we can look at the pattern as the combination of two separate patterns
that alternate:
One pattern (the odd terms) is a series of positive numbers that decrease by 1, and the
other pattern (the even terms) is a series of negative numbers that increase by 1 (Keep
in mind that a small negative number is greater than a large negative number, that is
-2 is greater than -3).
The pattern is: 5, -6, 4, -5, 3, -4, 2, -3, 1, ...
We are missing the tenth number which is an even term, therefore it should be greater
than the last even term (the eighth number) by 1. The eighth number is -3, so:
-3 + 1 = -2
Therefore, -2 is the correct answer.
7. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 0 is added, then 2 is subtracted; then 0 is
added again, then 2 is subtracted, and so on.
The pattern is: +0, -2, +0, -2, ...
Another way to look at it is that each number repeats itself before the
next stage of the pattern, so essentially the pattern is as follows: every pair of
numbers is less than the pair before it by 2.
or: -2, -2, -2, ... by pairs.
The last two numbers in the series are both 4, since they are the same, the next
number in the series should be smaller by 2.
120
4-2=2
8. Explanation
The pattern is: +10, -2, +10, -2, ...
next number in the series should be smaller than 26 by 2.
26 - 2 = 24
9. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, one is added, then two is subtracted; then
one is added again, then two is subtracted, and so on.
The pattern is: +1, -2, +1, -2, ...
The last two numbers in this series are 10 and 8, 8 is smaller than 10 by 2,
so the next number in the series should be larger than 8 by 1.
8+1=9
10. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 9 is subtracted, then 8 is added, then 7 is
subtracted, then 6 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: -9, +8, -7, +6, ...
6-1=5
that alternate. One pattern (the odd terms) is a series of numbers that decrease by 1,
and the other pattern (the even terms) is a series that increases by 1.
The pattern is: 10, 1, 9, 2, 8, 3, 7, 4, 6, ...
than the last even term (the eighth number) by 1. The eighth number is 4, so:
4+1=5
11. Explanation
121
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, six is added, then two is subtracted; then
six is added again, then two is subtracted, and so on.
The pattern is: +6, -2, +6, -2,...
The last two numbers in this series are 19 and 17, 17 is smaller than 19 by 2, so the
17 + 6 = 23
12. Explanation
In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by 2, but with an
alternating sign [(-), (+), (-), (+), ...].
The number pattern is: +2, +2, +2, +2, ...
The sign pattern is: -, +, -, +, ...
13 by 2.
13 + 2 = 15
13. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first 5 is added, then 15 is subtracted, then 5 is
added, then 15 is subtracted, and so on.
The pattern is: +5, -15, +5, -15, ...
The last two numbers in this series are 48 and 33. 33 is smaller than 48 by 15, so the
next number in the series should be bigger than 33 by 5.
33 + 5 = 38.
and the other pattern (the even terms) is another series that decreases by 10.
The pattern is: 63, 68, 53, 58, 43, 48, 33, ...
smaller than the last even term (the sixth number) by 10.
The sixth number is 48, so:
48 - 10 = 38.
122
14. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first 15 is added, then 12 is subtracted, then 9
is added, then 6 is subtracted, and so on.
The pattern is: +15, -12, +9, -6, ...
Each time the operation alternates between addition and subtraction, and the amount
we decrease or increase grows smaller by 3. The last two numbers in this series are 18
and 12, so the next number should be bigger than 12 by 3.
12 + 3 = 15.
15. Explanation
This series of numbers has two separate patterns taking place. Starting from the first
number, every other number increases by 2, and starting from the second number,
every other number decreases by 1.
The pattern is: 2 10 4 9 6 8 8 7 ...

The alternate bold numbers are 10, 9, 8, 7… They decrease by 1 each time.
The underlined numbers are

2, 4, 6, 8… They increase by 2 each time.
The next number in the sequence comes from the underlined pattern, because the last
number, 7, came from the bold pattern, and they are alternating.
Since the numbers increase by 2 in this pattern, the next number in the sequence must
be 2 more than 8 (the previous number in this pattern), which is 10.
16. Explanation
123
other words, every other number is a 5, and between the 5's we have a pattern where
every number is smaller than the number before it by 1.
The pattern is: 5, 8, 5, 7, 5, 6, 5, ...
The last two numbers in this series are 5, 6, and 5, so the next number will belong to
the number pattern, and should be smaller than 6 by 1:
6-1=5
17. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first 0.03 is subtracted, then 0.01 is added, then
0.03 is subtracted, then 0.01 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: -0.03,+0.01,-0.03,+0.01...
The last two numbers in this series are 0.04 and 0.01. 0.01 is smaller than 0.04 by
0.03, so the next number in the series should be bigger than 0.01 by
0.01: 0.01+0.01=0.02.
that alternate. One pattern (the odd terms) is a series of numbers that decrease by 0.02,
and the other pattern (the even terms) is another series that decreases by 0.02.
The pattern is: 0.08 0.05 0.06 0.03 0.04 0.01.
We are missing the seventh number which is an odd term, therefore it should be
smaller than the last odd term (the fifth number) by 0.02. The fifth number is 0.04,
so: 0.04-0.02=0.02.
18. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first 2 is added, then 2 is added again, then 2 is
added again, then 1 is subtracted, then 1 is subtracted again, then 1 is subtracted again,
The pattern is: +2+2+2-1-1-1+2+2+2...
124
The last four numbers in this series are 7, 6, 8, and 10, which give us one subtraction
of 1 and two additions of 2, so the next step is to add 2: 10+2=12.
19. Explanation
added, then 7 is subtracted, then 5 is added, then 7 is subtracted again, and so on.
The pattern is: +3-7+4-7+5-7...
The last numbers in this series are 14, 19 and 12. 19 is bigger than 14 by 5 and 12 is
smaller than 19 by 7, so the next number in the series should be bigger than 12 by
6. 12+6=18.
that alternate. One pattern (the odd terms) is a series of numbers that decrease by a
number that grow smaller by 1 each time: -4,-3,-2, and the other pattern (the even
terms) is a series that also decreases by a number that grows smaller by 1 each time:
-3,-2 .
The pattern is: 21, 24, 17, 21, 14, 19, 12, ...
smaller than the last even term (the sixth number) by 1 (21-19=2, 2-1=1). The sixth
number is 19, so: 19-1=18.
20. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: the second number is half the first number, the
third number is half the second number, and then another set begins: the fourth
number is twice the first number, the fifth number is half the fourth number, the sixth
number is half the fifth, and the seventh again opens another set, doubling the fourth
number.
The pattern is: L, ÷2, ÷2, L×2, ÷2, ÷2, (L×2)×2 ...
The seventh number opens a new set, so the next step is to divide it by 2 it to get the
eighth number:
125
32 ÷ 2 = 16.
21. Explanation

First 2 is added, then 2 is added again, then 2 is subtracted, then 4 is added, then 4 is
added again, then 4 is subtracted and so on.
The pattern is: +2 +2 -2 | +4 +4 -4 | +8 ...
The eighth number starts a new set, so the next step is to add 8 to get the ninth
number: 16 + 8 = 24.
22. Explanation

First 3 is subtracted, then 4 is added, then 5 is subtracted, then 6 is subtracted, then 7
The pattern is: -3 +4 -5 | -6 +7 -8 | -9 +10 ...
The operation that we use to change numbers follows this pattern:

subtract, add, subtract, (pause), subtract, add, subtract, and so on.

We see that numbers increase by 1, and since in the last operation the number 10 was
used (-9+10=1), the next number we need to add or subtract will be 11.
Which operation should we use?

We are at the end of a series, so to continue the pattern we must subtract:
1 - 11 = - 10.
23. Explanation
126
In this series, the pattern alternates between a number pattern and 24. Starting from
the first number, every other number is smaller by 7. Starting from the second number,
every other number — 24, repeats itself.
The pattern is: 24, 24, 17, 24, 10, 24 …
The last two numbers in the series are 10 and 24. Since the last number is 24, the next
number in the series should be a number that is smaller than 10 by 7:
10 – 7 = 3.
24. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: The first number is divided by 2, then
multiplied by 4, then divided by 2, then multiplied by 4, then divided by 2, and so on.
The pattern is: :2, ×4, :2, ×4, :2 …
The last two numbers in this series are 32 and 16. Since 16 is 32 divided by 2, the
next number should be 16 multiplied by 4:
16 × 4 = 64.
25. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 12 is subtracted, then 9 is added; then 12
is subtracted again, and then 9 is added again, and so on.
The pattern is: -12, +9, -12, +9, -12, +9…
The last two numbers are 51 and 60. 60 is greater than 51 by 9, thus the next number
in the series should be less than 60 by 12:
60 – 12 = 48.

The last three numbers in this series are 7, 8, and 9, which give us two additions of 1,
so the next step is to subtract 2:
9-2=7
32. Explanation
The pattern is: +2, -6, +3, -6, +4, -6, ...
The last numbers in this series are 13, 17, and 11.
17 is bigger than 13 by 4 and 11 is smaller than 17 by 6, so the next number in the

The last three numbers are 68, 73, and 70. 73 is 68 added by 5, and 70 is 73 subtracted
by 3. According to the pattern, after one subtraction of 3 there is another subtraction
of 3. Thus, the next number in the series will be the result of subtracting 3 from 70:
70 - 3 = 67.
38. Explanation
We can divide this series into sets of three numbers each. The pattern is as follows: In
each set of three numbers, the first number is multiplied by 3 to get the second
number, then the first number is multiplied by 4 to get the third number, then we add
1 to the first number to get the first number of the next new set. In the new set, we
multiply the first number by 3 to get the second number, then we multiply the first
number by 4 to get the third number, then we add 1 to the first number to get the first
number of the next new set, and so on. Look at the figure to better understand.
The pattern is:
The last number in the series is 5, which is the result of adding 1 to 4. Thus, 5 is the
first number of a new set, and therefore, the next step is to multiply 5 by 3 to get the
second number of this set:
5 × 3 = 15.

We can divide this series into sets of three numbers each. The pattern is as follows: In
each set of three numbers, the first number is multiplied by 3 to get the second
number, then the first number is multiplied by 4 to get the third number, then we add
1 to the first number to get the first number of the next new set. In the new set, we
multiply the first number by 3 to get the second number, then we multiply the first
number by 4 to get the third number, then we add 1 to the first number to get the first
number of the next new set, and so on. Look at the figure to better understand.
The pattern is:
The last number in the series is 5, which is the result of adding 1 to 4. Thus, 5 is the
first number of a new set, and therefore, the next step is to multiply 5 by 3 to get the
second number of this set:
5 × 3 = 15.

In this series, the pattern is as follows: first 0.03 is subtracted, then 0.01 is added, then
0.03 is subtracted, then 0.01 is added, and so on.
The pattern is: -0.03,+0.01,-0.03,+0.01...
The last two numbers in this series are 0.04 and 0.01. 0.01 is smaller than 0.04 by
0.03, so the next number in the series should be bigger than 0.01 by
0.01: 0.01+0.01=0.02.
that alternate. One pattern (the odd terms) is a series of numbers that decrease by 0.02,
and the other pattern (the even terms) is another series that decreases by 0.02.
The pattern is: 0.08 0.05 0.06 0.03 0.04 0.01.
smaller than the last odd term (the fifth number) by 0.02. The fifth number is 0.04,

subtract, add, subtract, (pause), subtract, add, subtract, and so on.

We see that numbers increase by 1, and since in the last operation the number 10 was
used (-9+10=1), the next number we need to add or subtract will be 11.
143
Which operation should we use?
We are at the end of a series, so to continue the pattern we must subtract:
1 - 11 = - 10.
62. Explanation
In this series, the pattern alternates between a number pattern and 24. Starting from
the first number, every other number is smaller by 7. Starting from the second number,
every other number — 24, repeats itself.
The pattern is: 24, 24, 17, 24, 10, 24 …
The last two numbers in the series are 10 and 24. Since the last number is 24, the next
number in the series should be a number that is smaller than 10 by 7:
10 – 7 = 3.
63. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: The first number is divided by 2, then
multiplied by 4, then divided by 2, then multiplied by 4, then divided by 2, and so on.
The pattern is: :2, ×4, :2, ×4, :2 …
The last two numbers in this series are 32 and 16. Since 16 is 32 divided by 2, the
next number should be 16 multiplied by 4:
16 × 4 = 64.
64. Explanation
In this series, the pattern is as follows: first, 12 is subtracted, then 9 is added; then 12

The pattern is: +0, -2, +0, -2, ...
Another way to look at it is that each number repeats itself before the next stage of the
pattern, so essentially the pattern is as follows: every pair of numbers is less than
the pair before it by 2.
or: -2, -2, -2, ... by pairs.
The last two numbers in the series are both 4, since they are the same, the next
number in the series should be smaller by 2.
