I am really sorry everyone :/ I submitted my answers - I didn't anticipate being this busy but since classes have started back in person, my schedule is pretty hectic. The next round (if I make it LOL) I will definitely try to submit a lot earlier - really sorry!!

Here are the answers with the solution as to how I reached each number!

1) 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ___ Ans: 30 (add 5)

2) 2, 4, 8, 16, __ Ans: 32 (multiply by 2)

3) 10, 25, 55, 115, ___ Ans: 235 (multiply by 2 add 5)

4) 73, 64, 55, 46, ___ Ans: 37 (subtract 1 from the first digit and add 1 to the second digit)

5) 4, 9, 16, 25, ___ Ans: 36 (6 squared)

6) 2450, 1000, 420, 188, ___ Ans: 95.2 (divide by 5, add 10, then multiply by 2)

7) 419, 421, 431, 433, ___ Ans: 439 (prime numbers)

8) 11, 22, 33, 44, ____ Ans: 55 (multiples of 11)

9) 80, 40, 20, 10, ____ Ans: 5 (divide by 2)

10) 9000, 1008, 120, ____ Ans: 21.333 (divide by 9 add 8)

11) 8, 13, 21, 34, ____ Ans: 55 (Fibonacci sequence)

12) 5000, 620, 72.5, 4.0625, ____ Ans: -4.492 (divide by 8 subtract 5)

13) 21609, 3087, 441, 63, ___ Ans: 9 (divide by 7)

14) 9, 50, 296, 1772, ____ Ans: 10628 (multiply by 6 subtract 4)

15) 6, 12, 18, 24, ___ Ans: 30 (multiples of 6)

For no 7. 443 is also correct isn’t it ?

First difference 2 , then difference of 10 , again 2 .. so next number is 433 +10 = 443

How do we get 439 ??? Explain the pattern pls beyond prime numbers

Sare correct hue...

But 10 21.33 and 12 -4.4921875 de thi...

Point cut toh nahi hoga na...

Shreyaaa, you can’t do this to me plsss! I don’t understand riddles 🥺🥺

first wrote 439. later changed it to 443 thinking of Shreya's rules. I thought we must do some calculations

Prime number in order basically

I had gotten 443 too with +2+10 but prime sequence reasoning it is
