Answer: What Comes Next? #426

The answer is C: 118.

The rule

Add 13 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 = 40
for step in range(7):
    print(number)
    number = number + 13

When you run it, Python prints:

40
53
66
79
92
105
118
