What is the next number in the sequence: 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ___?

If all firefighters are first responders, and some first responders are paramedics, which statement must be true?

What is the next letter in the sequence: A, C, F, J, O, ___?
Answer: U
The gaps increase by one each time (+2, +3, +4, +5, +6), so O (position 15) + 6 = U (position 21).
A fire truck parked facing North turns 90° clockwise, then 180° counterclockwise. What direction is it now facing?

North + 90° clockwise = East; East + 180° counterclockwise = West.
A fire hose fills a 500-gallon tank in 10 minutes. How many tanks can it fill in 45 minutes?

45 minutes ÷ 10 minutes per tank = 4.5 tanks.
A dispatch map shows Station A at coordinates (2, 3) and a fire at (8, 7). What is the approximate straight-line distance?
Answer: 7.2 units
Distance = √((8−2)² + (7−3)²) = √(36+16) = √52 ≈ 7.2 units.
A pattern follows: 2, 4, 8, 16, ___. What number comes next?
