What comes next: 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, ___?
Answer: 16
The differences increase by 1 each step (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), so 11 + 5 = 16.
Find the missing number: 100, 95, 85, 70, ___?
Answer: 50
The differences increase by 5 each step (5, 10, 15, 20), so 70 − 20 = 50.

What is next in the series: 6, 12, 10, 20, 18, 36, ___?
Answer: 34
The rule alternates between ×2 and −2, so after 36 comes 36 − 2 = 34.
