Answer: What Comes Next? #428

The answer is D: 169.

The rule

Add 22 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 = 37
for step in range(7):
    print(number)
    number = number + 22

When you run it, Python prints:

37
59
81
103
125
147
169
