0 Guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 15 is a perfectly good answer, as this could possibly be an alternating sequence between adding 2 and adding 5. If you want to exclude that answer, you need to post a couple of more numbers, and ask us to find the next one after that. There are very few sequences that can be solved uniquely after just 4 numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 8 What you had to do was write out the numbers. one three eight ten Then you add the sum of the letters of 1 and 3 which equals eight.
