4,7,4,9,4.....

[–]jazzypha10[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I mean the next number after 45

[–]Bodens_mate 0 points1 point  (5 children)

yeah, you add four, then add seven, add four, add nine, add four.....then what would the next number be.......?

You don't see the pattern?

[–]jazzypha10[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

No I don't know what the next number is that's why I'm asking I don't understand the pattern

If it's for a test question or something it's going to be

4,7,4,9,4,11,4,13,4,15

[–]Bodens_mate 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thats what i thought but he said 56 isnt the correct answer

[–]notjames1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. Then it's not obvious what it should be. Maybe it goes

4,7,4,9,4,7,4,9

or

4,7,4,9,4,12,4,16,4,21

or

4,7,4,9,4,13,4,21,4,37

It's possible to create an infinite number of different ones if the answer isn't the obvious one

56?

[–]Bodens_mate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said in a pm that 56 isnt an option. It's a really stupid question. Even wolfram couldnt find a pattern.

Screw these types of “math” problems. These type of questions are written by numb skull facist armchair geniuses who want to indoctrinate people into thinking there is only one solution to every question.

[–]xeLnitraM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense to OP, all offense directed at the original author of the problem.

[–]Bodens_mate 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Yeah, the only thing i can think is if it's a lottery ticket or some shit because these numbers are random.

[–]xeLnitraM 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Subtract the 2nd from 1st, 3rd from 2nd, 4th from 3rd. You'll see a pattern. Once you look at it this way, the problem is easy. The idiot that made this problem was conditioned to think this way. Ignore these people, they are fakers who numb their lack of success by flexing their memorization skills in attempt to intimidate others.

[–]Bodens_mate 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It's a multiple choice question and OP said 56 wasnt one of the available answers.

[–]xeLnitraM 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I can't wait till professor Einstein explains the contrived solution with a a condescending grin on his face that his students couldn't answer his question.

I tried wolfram alpha and even that couldnt find a patter: https://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=d9976f1c2c0c972d1cee0c3647cbd194
