LAST WEEK'S PUZZLE SOLUTION # 303
What are the next two numbers in this series?
2, 2, 4, 6, 10, 16, 26, 42, 68, ___, ____
answer: 110, 178
Amy Young - Highlands School - Saugus California
The way I got my answer is I added 2+2=4 4+2=6, 6+4=10, 10+6=16,
16+10=26, 42+26=68, 68+42=110, and110+68=178.
But the way I got my answer is FIBONACCI ! cause fibonacci
is when you add the first 2 numbers and when
you get your answer you, add the answer + the
the last number and it keeps going on until you
get to the place and you want to stop.
