2) 65, 70, 63, 74, 61, ?

Explanation

We can note that consecutive prime numbers are either added or subtracted starting from 5.

65+5 = 70
70-7 = 63
63+11 = 74
74-13 = 61
61+17 = 78

Submit
3) 11, 20, 38, 74, ?

Explanation

11*2 - 2 = 22-2 =20
20*2 - 2= 40-2 = 38
38*2 - 2= 76 - 2 = 74
74*2 - 2 = 148-2 = 146

Submit
4) 15, 21, 38, 65, 101, ?

Explanation

21 - 15 = 6
38 - 21 = 17
65 - 38 = 27
101 - 65 = 36
Now, let us take the difference of difference.
17 - 6 = 11
27 - 17 = 10
36 - 27 = 9
Continuing the sequence, we get the next term as 36+8 = 44
101 + 44 = 145.

Submit
5) 24, 28, 19, 35, 10, ?

Explanation

24 + 4 = 28
28 - 9 = 19
19 + 16 = 35
35 - 25 = 10
10 + 36 = 46

The pattern is +4, -9, +16, -25, +36 (Squares with alternate sign)

Submit
6) 6, 5, 8, 21, 80, ?

Explanation

6*1 -1 = 5
5*2 - 2 = 10-2 =8
8*3 - 3 = 24-3 = 21
21*4-4 = 84-4 = 80
80*5-5 = 395

Submit
7) 47, 23, 11, 5, 2, ?

Explanation

47*0.5 - 0.5= 23.5 - 0.5 = 23
23*0.5 - 0.5 = 11.5 - 0.5 =11
11*0.5 - 0.5 = 5.5 - 0.5 = 5
5*0.5 - 0.5 = 2.5 - 0.5 = 2
2*0.5 - 0.5 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Submit
8) 1, 2, 6, 21, 88, ?

Explanation

1*1 + 1 = 2
2*2 + 2 = 6
6*3 + 3 = 21
21*4 + 4 = 88
88*5 + 5 = 445

Submit
9) 7, 16, 45, 184, 915, ?

Explanation

7*2 + 2= 14+2 = 16
16*3 - 3 = 48 - 3 = 45
45*4 + 4 = 180+4 = 184
184*5 - 5 = 920 - 5 = 915.
915*6 + 6 = 5490+ 6 = 5496.

Submit
10) 9, 10.8, 14.4, 21.6, ?, 64.8

Explanation

9 + 1.8 = 10.8
10.8 + (2*1.8) = 10.8 + 3.6 = 14.4
14.4 + (2*3.6) = 14.4+7.2 = 21.6
21.6 + (2*7.2) = 21.6 + 14.4 = 36

Submit
11) 13, 14, 30, 93, ?, 1885

Explanation

13*1 + 1 = 14
14*2 +2 = 28+2 = 30
30*3 + 3 = 90+3 =93

11.5*2 - 1 = 23 - 1 = 22
22*2.5 +1 = 55+1 =56

Submit
14) 9, 5, 6, 10.5, 23, ?

Explanation

9*0.5 + 0.5 = 4.5 + 0.5 = 5
5*1 +1 = 5+1 =6
6*1.5 + 1.5 = 9+1.5 =10.5
10.5*2 + 2 = 21+2 = 23
23*2.5 + 2.5 = 57.5+2.5 = 60.
