When i did it, i didnt pay attention to the image. i only do it when the picture is somewhat funny. ;)
didn't pay attention to the image..........
We have to add successive prime numbers to every next term.
So, the answer is 1 2 9
THE DIFFERENCE B/W TWO CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS IS THAT OF A PRIME NO.
the difference between succesive numbers is a prime.. so the progression goes 2 (+3)= 5 (+5) =10 (+7) =17 (+11) =28 (+13) =41.......100 (+29) = 129
The difference between each number is a prime number:
Take 5 and 2, the difference is 3
Take 10 and 5, the difference is 5 and so on it goes...
So for each number in the sequence we have to add that number with the next prime number
therefore the answer is 129 (100+29)
The difference between any two of the terms is a prime number and it’s all the primes in order. 2 is the first prime, and the first number of the sequence. 3 is the second prime and 2+3=5. 5 is the third prime and 5+5=10 And so on. The next term after 100 would have to be the 10th prime number plus 100 (since there are 9 terms before it) or in other words 129.
at first, i thought the picture doesn't help. i already figured out what is the pattern before i realize that it is a clue :)
