Difficulty Levels
Choose a difficulty level based on the type and size of numbers you want to practise.
Easy
Uses straightforward sequences with small positive step values (1 to 10) for basic pattern recognition.
Medium
Introduces sequences with larger step intervals and two-digit starting numbers.
Hard
Features demanding sequences with larger step sizes and numbers up to 500 for an intensive pattern challenge.
Rules
Keep these rules in mind while playing.
- ✓Analyze the number sequence to identify the underlying arithmetic pattern
- ✓Difficulty increases with the size of the base numbers and the step intervals: Easy uses simple steps, Medium uses larger intervals, and Hard uses advanced values
- ✓Each problem shows a sequence with one missing number marked as '?'
- ✓Enter the missing number in the box and press Enter or click Submit
- ✓The game continues until time runs out
- ✓No answer will be shown immediately after submission
Tips for Improving Your Score
Use these simple strategies to solve problems more accurately and efficiently.
Tip 1
Subtract the first visible number from the second to find the constant step difference.
Tip 2
Confirm the step size by checking another adjacent pair before calculating the missing number.
Tip 3
If '?' is in the middle, verify your answer works for both the preceding and succeeding numbers.
Tip 4
Work systematically and don't rush through multi-digit differences.
