54 ( series is X^2 + (X-2) with plus sign alternating)

33 = 10 ( 3^2)+ (3-2) 55 = 22 ( 5^2)- (5-2) 7*7 = 54 ( 7^2)+(7-2)

AreYouAGenius:

3+3=10
5+5=22
7+7=?

(1+1) + (1+1) = 4
(3 + 2) + (3 + 2) = 10, then take 3+3 = 6
(5 + 6) + (5 + 6) = 22, then take 5+5 = 10
(7 + 10) + (7 + 10) = 34

The series would look something like this:
1+1=4
3+3=10
5+5=22
7+7=34
9+9=46
11+11=58
13+13=70
Etc...

I think you got the first bit wrong. Since the only odd number prior to 1, would be -1, it should be (1-2)+(1-2) = -2 (Otherwise there's no reason to choose 1 over, say, 0, or 7 billion). Why -2? Because (-1)+(-1) = -2. Other than that it makes sense. I like mine better though.

Who the fuck cares. 7+7 = 14

So I guess some broke punk could just say hey my bank account = $1,000,000.00

Lets just make up math from now on. Why the hell not that's what bankers do anyway.

One of the keys to success on the sell side is to find a pattern in any set of numbers and be able to convince others that your way of solving the problem is the best possible solution. That's why I kick ass at things like this, I have a ton of practice.

There are at least a few right answers to this problem, but nobody has come up with a better solution than me. Plus, I had a first mover advantage. Bada-bing, bada-boom.....CEO. Someone could have just said that you add 12 each time and it is also correct, given the information given, but it's hard to charge a high fee for something like that.

 

38?

so I just added all the prior numbers, and then an extra depending on where it lies on the sequence.

3+3=10 --- 1+2+(3+3)+1 {because it's first in the sequence} = 10 5+5=22 --- 1+2+3+4+(5+5)+2 {second in sequence} = 22 7+7=? --- 1+2+3+4+5+6+(7+7)+3 = 38
