Hi guys, I heard this puzzle on the radio today and didnt quite agree with the answer given.
I will try as much as possible to reproduce it as i heard it:
"I want to make 3 deposits to a bank. My first deposit was 11k, the 2nd was 33k. What will the 3rd deposit be?"
It could be anything... there isnt enough info to derive a formula for this sequence. you need to provide the numbers in the sequence before 11 to arrive at some kind of rule. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AopdHkqSqKL-dHlQVTMxU1VBdU1BSWJxdy1f... ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general Strathmore University provides all-round education in an atmosphere of freedom and responsibility.
