  1. Maybe you have seen this before, but let's assume you haven't and can answer this question:

    If you can, you are considered to have an IQ at genius level:

    Question:

    What is the next number in this sequence?

    61
    52
    63
    94
    46
    ........?


    Here is an even better question: If every American, 300 million or so, was to plant a tree, would that be enough to suck up a reasonable percentage of the green house gases being emitted into the air to save our planet?

    I think our grandchildren are all screwed. Glad I will be dead by next century.

  7. could someone please explain the answer and how it is found? thanks,
     
  8. Who the feck cares? Tell me how it will make me some money or how it will benefit me if I take the time to figure it out and I might get interested.
     
  9. bootize

    When you look at the sequence, look at those numbers backwards... and you'll see a pattern:

    16,25,36,49,64

    What do you see...

    4 squared
    5 squared
    6 squared
    7 squared
    8 squared
    leaveing....

    9 squared = 81

    backwards becomes 18


    sorry to ruin it for the others :)
