0 Guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 68. You take away the smallest number found between the two end numbers, then flip everything. On the last 3 digits, you take away the 7 at the middle, then flip 8 and 6 to become 68. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 next no. is 78. it's just reversing the number each time and removing smallest number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) I accept that sak_lko intended the answer to be 78 However, I maintain that if instead of removing the smallest number, we remove the second number from the left (which is consistent with what was happening in the "series"), then it could be interpreted that a perfectly acceptable answer would be 68 Edited July 20, 2010 by Bobby Gange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving us with 67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
