That last one troubles me a bit.; January 27, 2015 at 7:10 PM

1: 192 = 64 x 3
3: 222 = 74 x 3
5: 252 = 84 x 3

so 7: 94 x 3 = 282

Then the even terms:

2: 021 = 7 x 3
4: 324 = 108 x 3
6: 627 = 209 x 3

sp 8: 310 x 3 = 930

Unknown said...: Asim Nazir, I did mean to put it as 282 and 920, reaching it by the same conclusion you did. But why did you choose 921 andnot 920, which would have fit the pattern according to line 2 (021)?; January 28, 2015 at 3:02 PM
JyRKS said...: The numbers form logic over one.

192, 222, 252, 2 _ _?

021, 324, 627, 9 _ _?

The first line gets 3 added to the middle number, so 30

The second like gets 3 added to the first and last number, so 303.

192 + 30 = 222 +30 =252 +30 = 282

021 + 303 = 324 + 303 = 627 + =303 = 930; January 30, 2015 at 4:51 PM
JyRKS said...: The second solution could be forementioned diagonal numbering:

192
021
222
324
252
627
282
920

Where from right to left numbers get +1 added and and a diagonal of 2's to separate them.

However both logics work and it is impossible to tell which one is correct here 930 or 920. This solution would need another set of numbers to be sure.

Although I'm assuming that the author meant the diagonal solution here., so 920 is correct.; January 30, 2015 at 5:06 PM
