About Pattern Recognition

You are shown a number sequence that follows a hidden rule and must pick the number that comes next. The rule might add, multiply, or combine several steps.

This is a useful brain exercise for reasoning and the kind of puzzles found in aptitude tests.

Tips to play better

  • Check the difference between neighbouring numbers first.
  • If differences are not equal, look at whether they themselves follow a pattern.
  • Try ratios as well; some sequences double or triple each step.
