Do you want to do a little test.

thats easy its 57.
i got it in about 2 minutes

63 54 65 96

I reversed the numbers like this:

36 45 56 69

Then I took the difference between the numbers:

45-36 = 9
56-45 = 11
69-56 = 13

So I knew the next number should have the difference 15 = 84 (84-69 = 15). Then I reversed the number = final result = 48.

But that\'s not the next number in the original string of numbers, but in your reversed one...?

I firmly believe the last digit in the answer is 7... or then I\'ve fallen for an evil scheme!

Sheesh, why did I start thinking about this at midnight, tired as heck, ack. I\'m almost ready to see those numbers morph into vile brain-sucking aliens from Mars... AAAG! *runs for the hills* Bossie post another one when I\'m sober :snore:

I hate maths.The only reason I don\'t flunk maths is that the teacher likes computers and I happen to know something about\'em,he\'s also a maclot and I happen to know a thing or two about macs. (lucky me)

very good, you found solution nr 2.
There is another solution.

63-2  54-2 65-2 96-2   this gives:

61 52 63 94

Reverse

16 25 36 49

4x4 5x5 6x6 7x7

Answer:

8x8=64
 reverse

46

add 2

result 48

Very good

I think there is 3 solutions to this one, 2 of them gives 48 but the 3 gives something else cant remember.

I did these kind of test in the pre-military-test-thingy (sorry can\'t really explain it well right now, I\'m tired) as well, they were quite impressed with my test scores. I think I have a flair for those logic tests.

i got 48 as well within 8 minutes, i thought it was 87 but its not, and seeing as how smmy ol boy has explained it i dont have to prove my self, and i did figure it out

I know I have some gifts that lets me see the solutions for this kind of logical tests.

I like 69
