Answer: What Comes Next? #302

The answer is C: 46.

The rule

Add 5 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 = 16
for step in range(7):
    print(number)
    number = number + 5

When you run it, Python prints:

16
21
26
31
36
41
46
