Answer: What Comes Next? #228

The answer is B: 50.

The finished pattern: 14, 20, 26, 32, 38, 44, 50.
The finished pattern.

The rule

Add 6 each time.

The pattern as Python code

Here is a tiny Python program that follows the same rule. Type it into IDLE and run it to print the whole pattern, including the answer.

number = 14
for step in range(7):
    print(number)
    number = number + 6

When you run it, Python prints:

14
20
26
32
38
44
50

Pixel says: Try changing a number in the code and run it again. Can you make the pattern go on for 20 steps? Meow!
