Canada Max Zubrick & Adam Simpson, Lifetime Learning School - Richmond Hill, Ontario Math students of Mrs. Janell Rogers Saint Rose School - Perrysburg, OH Sara Winchester Radnor Valley County Primary - New Radnor, Powys, Mid Wales. The answer is 117649. My primary children found it a bit beyond them! = But I always enjoyed maths at school and decided to try out a number of = things. I think it is because the first number is (1 to the power of 0) = the second is (2 to the power of 1), the third is (3 to the power of 2) = the forth is (4 to the power of 3) the fifth is (5 to the power of 4) = and the sixth is (6 to the power of 5) so my number should be (7 to the = power of 6) which is 117649. Another way to show the pattern: 1 2 3x3 4x4x4 5x5x5x5 6x6x6x6x6 7x7x7x7x7x7 ***************************************************************** ****** Congratulations to all who entered! ******* Compiled by Heather Gottlieb *****************************************************************
