In this quiz you have to find the number that continues the sequence in the most sensible way. You will be offered a sequence of numbers, and you have to find the missing number each time. Some questions will be straightforward, and you will just have to work out the relationship between the first two numbers, then between the second and third and so on. Some will be more difficult, requiring you to add different numbers in the sequence. An example has been done for you.

Example: What is the next number in the series of numbers below? Replace the question mark with a number and select the correct answer from the four choices available.

2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (?)

12
11
14
2

The correct answer is 12 because the numbers are going up by 2 each time. 10 + 2 = 12.

[ ] 44
[x] 49
[ ] 34
[ ] 48
The correct answer is 49 because the numbers are all the squares of other numbers. 11 x 11 = 121, 10 x 10 = 100 and so on. So we are looking for the square of 7 which is 49

The correct answer is 5 because the numbers are a Fibonacci sequence. This means that each number is the sum of the two numbers to its left. So, 2 + 3 = 5. Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician whose full name was Leonardo Pisano Bigollo. He did not invent Fibonacci numbers, but used them in his Maths
9. What is the next number in the series of numbers below? Replace the question mark with a number and select the correct answer from the four choices available.
