The answers are as follows:

You had to get a minimum of 50% (44 points or 22 right) to pass. Unfortunately we are losing 4 members for low scores:

TheRoadNotTaken

Mihika

Mahisa_22

Silpa20

The following members are eliminated for not submitting answers:

Sevenstreaks

DaddyMarvel

ssttuuttii

MujheMaarjaneDo

Additionally Zeal17 has had to quit the game due to health reasons. As such there is now a change in the hackers! Instead of trying to beat all 3 as a group, you now need to beat both Lexi and Kifs individually! That's right both will be playing individually Round 2 onwards. Thus, their Round 1 scores will still be an an average, but Round 2 onwards they will be individual players. If even one of them becomes winner or runner-up, then Dr. Watson and Player will have lost, else they will have won.

Player finished typing in the last answer and then looked at me. “Good to submit?”

I examined the screen and nodded. “Yes. I think those are all right.”

Player clicked the next button and waited. The screen went blank and then a new message appeared on screen, “Well, well. You are proving yourself worthy. Congratulations. But this is not going to get any easier. In fact with each puzzle, you are bound to make mistakes and at that time we will catch you and destroy everything.”

Then the message dissolved and another appeared, “You may be asking yourself, what’s next? Well now you have to solve the patterns. You will get 25 sequences below. Simply find the next one in the sequence.”

Again the message disappeared and now 25 sequences appeared onscreen. As I examined them, I saw what the hackers had done. They had started off easy and then made the sequences progressively difficult. There would be a lot of math involved. I checked my watch and saw that 5 hours had already passed. We had only saved an hour in the unscrambling. And we were no closer to finding out what the hackers wanted or why they were doing this.

Player interrupted my thoughts excitedly, “I’ve got the first 4!”

Below you’ll find 15 sequences. You will have to use up to 3 different arithmetic operations for some of the sequences but only using numbers from 1 through 10. (Yes I’m sharing a public hint.) You can either send me the complete sequence with the last number filled in or just the answers. Either works for me.

Remember you only get one try and you do not need to get all of them right to get through. That means only one submission allowed.

Each correct answer will give you 5 points. Each wrong answer will cost you 3 points. Blanks do not add or lose any points. You will get 2 hints this round and each will cost you 10 points.
