In my last post, I made some observations about the nature of intelligence, plasticity, cognition, learning and cognitive enhancement. Toward the end of that post, I left you with a group of simple (what a subjective term that is!) sequences to complete. Here they are again, with the next number (found through pattern recognition) placed there for you in red.
A) 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ? 21
B) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ? 21
C) 1000, 0100, 0010, 0001, 1000 ? 0100
D) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 ? 36
E) 200, 3000, 40000, 500000, ? 6000000
F) 1, 100, 2, 99, 3, 98, 4, ? 97
G) 1.21, 2.32, 3.43, 4.54, ? 5.65
---------------------
I'll let you ponder on those answers for a day or so. If you can't figure out how we arrived at them, don't fret. Some were tough. And I will show you the pattern underlying each of these sequences of numbers.
Observation: In verbal communications, we read between the lines. In numeric or alphanumeric pattern recognition, we must read between the items that comprise the series.
