Determine the next logical number in each sequence.
When you've finished, convert each of the six final numbers to a letter
(1 = A, 2 = B, etc.) to form a six-letter word reading down.
What is this word?
1 2 4 6 10 12 ___
169 121 81 49 25 9 ___
36 28 21 15 10 6 ___
14 15 13 16 12 17 ___
44 51 17 24 8 15 ___
2 5 8 11 14 17 ___
Solution to the Problem:
The word is PACKET
1 2 4 6 10 12 16 (one less than the prime numbers)
169 121 81 49 25 9 1 (odd squares, descending)
36 28 21 15 10 6 3 (subtract 8, then 7, then 6,...)
14 15 13 16 12 17 11 (add 1, subtract 2, add 3, subtract 4,...)
44 51 17 24 8 15 5 (add 7, divide by 3, add 7, divide by 3,...)
2 5 8 11 14 17 20 (repeatedly add 3)
