Are you certain the first number is 42 and not 46?

you are correct, the first number should be 46

Hi lavonna,

Thank you for your clarification.

46, 42, 14, 28 24, 8 16, 12

46 (-4) 42 (÷3) 14 (x2) 28 (-4) 24 (÷3) 8 (x2) 16 (-4) 12

********************************

15, 24, 25, 5, 14, 15, 3

15 (+9) 24 (+1) 25 (÷5) 5 (+9) 14 (+1) 15 (÷5) 3


I hope that helps.

Best regards,
Rainbow

Rainbow,
Could the answer to the second sequence not be -5?
Rule being repeats of +9, +1 and -20?
Cheers
