Which number continues the sequence? 3, 44, 8, 41, 13, 38, ...

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 18

  1. Step 1: Two patterns alternate: +5 in the odd places and -3 in the even places. Step 2. The next number belongs to the first pattern: 13 + 5 = 18. Answer: 18. Why not the others: 35: the second pattern was continued instead of the first. 23: the step was added twice. 13: the step was subtracted.
