55k . 11k and 33k have 11k as their largest common divisor. so 11k, 33k divided by 11k each give the arithmetic progression  1, 3 , x . You can look at it two ways : <br>1. the difference between members of the (series?) is 2<br>
2. or the (series?) comprises of all prime numbers starting from 1<br><br>either way you end up with 5. 5*11k = 55k.<br><br clear="all">--<br>Ndungi Kyalo<br><a href="http://biblia.kenya.or.ke">biblia.kenya.or.ke</a><br><br>

Hi guys,<br>
I heard this puzzle on the radio today and didnt quite agree with the<br>
answer given.<br>
<br>
I will try as much as possible to reproduce it as i heard it:<br>
<br>
&quot;I want to make 3 deposits to a bank. My first deposit was 11k, the<br>
2nd was 33k. What will the 3rd deposit be?&quot;<br>
<br>
Share your answer and reason behind it. I will share the answer they gave later.<br>
