Test your IQ by completing this number sequence in 15 seconds!

THE math puzzles have this extraordinary power to captivate us and test our mental agility. Imagine yourself facing a sequence of numbers, an empty space staring at you, challenging your intelligence. No, it’s not just a harmless hobby; it’s a real brain exercise that tests your logic and your ability to detect hidden patterns. Let yourself be carried away into the fascinating world of number puzzles where each missing digit is a piece of a large intellectual puzzle to put together.

Decrypt digital sequences

Diving into the world of digital puzzles means agreeing to measure yourself against series of numbers that seem, at first glance, arbitrary. However, once the underlying model revealed, each number finds its place with implacable logic. It’s not just about juggling numbers; it is a real intellectual training which strengthens our ability to solve complex problems, to sharpen our critical thinking and to develop a methodical approach to achieve the answer we seek.

The key to the enigma

For math geeks and the curious, here is how to break down the problem. Let’s look at the first two lines:

8 ÷ 4 = 2 and 24 ÷ 8 = 3

6 ÷ 3 = 2 and 18 ÷ 6 = 3

We see a regularity:

The number in the second column is equal to double of the number in the first column.

The number in the third column is equal to triple of the number in the second column.

Let’s apply this logic to the last line:

5 x 2 = 10 and 10 x 3 = 30

And there it is, the missing number is therefore 30!
