❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sequence puzzle?
A puzzle where you identify the rule that generates a sequence of numbers or symbols and predict the next term(s).
What patterns should I look for first?
Check for constant differences (arithmetic), constant ratios (geometric), alternating rules, Fibonacci style sums, or patterns based on squares, cubes, primes, or the position of the term.
What steps help me solve them quickly?
Examine nearby terms, test simple rules on several terms, use the rule to predict the next term, and verify that it fits the sequence.
How can I improve at sequence puzzles?
Practice with a variety of sequences, learn common pattern types, and review explanations to understand why a rule works.
