Danny Zhu PS 221 - Little Neck, NY, U.S.A. Crystal McCord Wasco High School - Wasco, Ca United States ----336-?----------------------------------------------- Jeff Hoodzow found a good method but the wrong result. What is the next number? 0 4 4 8 12 20 32 52 84 136 = 356 not 336 4, 4, 8, 12, 20, 32, 52, 84, 136, 220, ___ 336 Highland High School- Gilbert, AZ The answer to the problem is 336. I derived this from the difference between consecutive numbers. 8 and 4 is 4. 12 and 8 is also 4. Therefore, the next number will be 12, the previous number, plus 8, the combined difference. ***************************************************************** ****** Congratulations to all who entered! ******* *****************************************************************
