¼ ½ 1 3 6 12 24 30 60 120 240 ?
This is probably wrong because the first three terms don't fit the pattern.
300?
-120
If you want my logic, I'll give it to you. It could also be 125.
No one's got it yet
clue: this is not a math riddle
I'll bet a guinea it's 252, but didn't you skip 2 and 4?
252 it is
You would have to go back a long way for 2 and 4 to be included, the list I gave was in my lifetime.
Damn, even with the answer and the "explanation", I can't make sense out of it.
Is it just me or does 2 and 4 mean nothing to someone else ?
