Deified Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 32, 81, 64, 25... Whats the next number? This should be really easy for most people here. I'm only posting it because it hasn't been solved at my school by anybody besides me and I wanted to gauge how hard it actually is. My school is pretty mathematically and scientifically deficient. Please post how long it took you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 6...a little more than a minute. It was the 32 that threw me off a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deified Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Yea, 32 is a number most people associate with 4 or 8, but not 5. It took me about 30 secs I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 yeah, six. took me a minute or two. the 32 is deffinately the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john5746 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I saw the answer, so it was easy after that. natural inclination is to think of one variable at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAlert Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Ah well. I am only in grade 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deified Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 I'm only in 9th as well. I really like this problem. I think it's one of those where you either have it in a minute or two or you'll never get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deified Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'll have to agree with that. Some pretty bad spelling too. Rather interesting though, obviously some primary research into the eating habits of snails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan19_83 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 it's not exactly a brain teaser though! maybe we have to figure out why she was so dumb to put it here in the first place!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
