0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 wild stab in the dark, in a room where i don't know where i'm stabbing... Is it 24, because it is the only one with out the number "1" in the front.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 14 because it is the only one that is the product of 2 prime numbers, it is the only one that has a factor of 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I believe that 16 should be 14. I think it's based on the pattern 12+2=14+4=18-4=14-2=12x2=24/2=12. Why else would the number 12 be shown 3 different times? If it was based on factors and prime number and the like, then 12 would only have to be shown one time.

0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) 14, because it's the only number not divisible by an even number. So...when/where do we get the real answer? Edited June 5, 2008 by Toulinwoek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Which is the odd one out 12,14,18,16,12,24,12. And why?The last 12? 12+2=14+4=18-2=16-4=12*2=24*4 would be 96. So first we are adding, then subtracting, then multiplying using same pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Monday has 6 letters x2 is 12 Tuesday 7 letters x2 is 14 Wednesday is 18 Thursday is 16 Friday is 12 Saturday is 16 Sunday is 12 12, 14, 18, 16, 12, 16, 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 The answer is 24. As the title implies, it is the only number with digits that do not add up to an odd number. 1+2=3 1+4=5 1+8=9 1+6=7 2+4=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 it's a simple pattern, the first number is 12, and if it weren't for 18 each 2nd number would be 12 12,x,18,x,12,x,12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Which is the odd one out 12,14,18,16,12,24,12. And why? 12 (Second occurance) is the odd one. 12+2=14, 14+4=18 18-2=16, 16-4=12 12*2=24, 24*4=96 and not 12 next two numbers would be 96/2=48, 48/4=12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 12,14,18,16,12,24,12......................It is 24 because the sum of the two numbers equal a odd number except 24. For 12 (1+2=3) For 14 (1+4=5) and so on until 24 (2+4=6) I think that is the most logical if you can draw a hint from the title................

I would have to say it is the last 12.... the last number should be 96, pattern is +2 +4 -2 -4 x2 so it should be x4, anyone agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 24. Saturday has 8 letters. twice that is 16, not 24 That is almost there - but why is it treble and not double? There is a reason Well done for spotting the days of the week, but 7 numbers are a bit of a give away fair bit of kudos for the other reasons out there!

0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 My theory... Here goes: 14 They're twice the number of letters in the days of the week written in English, starting from Monday. Tuesday is the only day with an odd number of letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
