I gave my 6-old son Michael a sequence problem today. I asked him to give me the next number in the sequence ...
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ...
He didn't have any problem coming up with the solution to that one. Before I could ask him a more challenging question, he decided to give me a sequence problem of his own. Michael asked me to give him the next number in the sequence below:
8, 7, 9, 5, 13, -3, 29, ...
I didn't find the question above too hard, but I challenge anyone else to find a 6-year old who can solve the puzzle above, much less design a puzzle like the one above.
