I received this on another forum

4 is the answer

25 - 24 = 1
24 - 22 = 2
22 - 19 = 3
19 - 15 = 4
15 - 10 = 5

therefore:

10 - x = 6

therefore:

x = 4

Possible?

EDIT: Just realised this was just posted :S woops!
..Thanks for the replies, i think i have found my answer!

So the answer is right because it sequentially makes a pattern?

One that is pleasing to our eyes?

Blah! No wonder I hate math!

Hey all...

I was given this problem by a friend and wouldn\'t have a clue how to find out the answer. Please help!

Ok, i need to find \'x\'

25, 22, 15, x, 10, 19, 24

Anybody have any clues, or could point me in the right direction?

Thanxxx

P.S: OoOo New Smileys :drunk:

Ok so you are saying the X in the sequence is 4.

How? \'cos all your answers are changing the sequence.
?????????

You aren\'t changing the sequence, just the way you read the sequence. It\'s a slim distinction I know - that\'s part of why I don\'t like this question.

Actually I don\'t think it is a math problem at all. Just a brain teaser.

who said it was a sequence? in any case the pattern holds for a few iterations, so its worth a guess.

im not positive or anything.
