Answer: What Comes Next? #354

The answer is B: 37.

The rule

Take away 11 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 = 103
for step in range(7):
    print(number)
    number = number - 11

When you run it, Python prints:

103
92
81
70
59
48
37
