Answer: What Comes Next? #325

The answer is A: 49.

The rule

Take away 7 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 = 91
for step in range(7):
    print(number)
    number = number - 7

When you run it, Python prints:

91
84
77
70
63
56
49
