Guess the 6th

It has been a while since I last posted a riddle and for some strange reason, I have been getting some guess-the-answer-and-open-the-file-and-fill-in-your-name kind of forwarded mails.

These mails basically has an excel spreadsheet which has been password protected. There will be a riddle attached to it and the answer to the riddle is the password to the attached spreadsheet. Once you managed to break the code, you can then open the spreadsheet and fill in your name and you can also see those who managed to break the code before you.

I have gotten a few and I am just going to let you all in on a simple one, just to stimulate our very slow brain on a Friday.

1
2
6
42
1,806
?

What’s the 6th number?

Happy guessing and have a wonderful weekend… It’s Matta Fair!

2x3=6
6x7=42
42x43=1806
1806x1807=3,263,442

WY said...

all the lazy people above, would have done what i have done...

1,
1(2) = 2,
2(3) = 6,
6(7) = 42,
42(43) = 1806,
1806(1807) = 3263442,

GOOGLE it. lol. it's true, google is making us stupid!

Hope said...

I got that answer as well. Maybe all of us can be Mensa members hehe

SamSeiko said...

given the growth rate... the formula must be some algebraic multiplication table... since there's only 1 variable (i.e. the base number).. there are 2 possible fomulas as follows:

X = y*y+y..
or
X = y * (n+1)where base n = Y

where base Y = 1

both are general algebra replacement formulas...
