Tuck School - Burlington, Ontario, Canada Heather McDonald Baylor University - Waco, Texas Nicole Strauss Baylor University - Waco, TX The CCDC repeats it self. So without that, you are left with FE and then G__. Since E comes right before F, it would make sense that F should fill in the blank after the G. Charles E.

Maja & Venesa Percy ,Merry,School - Milton. Ont. As you can see that the answer is F. The way I got F was, for an example look at F & E, in the alphabet e comes before F but then you must flip it backwards. The next new letter is G and before G comes F, therefore our first answer would be F. We have another answer but it is out of numbers. The number answer is 6. The way we got 6 to flip the alphabets into numbers. The way we flip the alphabets into numbers is when we found out that the order there in is the same as numbers from one to ten. **** F ********************************************************** I think the answer is F because after the first E the pattern restarts. Go to the last part of the second pattern and you see G and F because F is before G like when at the last part of the first pattern is F and then E. Therefore the answer is F Jasdeep Percy Merry school - Milton. Ont.
