Exordium and TerminusTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.What would you say is the next entry in this series?
2525, 3535, 4545, 5555, 6565, ... It looks like the next entry SHOULD be 7575, doesn't it? Just add 1010, right? Well, the next entry WOULD be 7575 - if this were a mathematical series. But that wouldn't be much of a challenge, would it? The next entry is actually less than 7575, because this is not about arithmetic, and the pattern changes after 6565. Can you figure out what the next entry is? Answer7510The numbers are the years mentioned in the song "In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus)", by Zager and Evans. Lyrics In the year 2525 If man is still alive If woman can survive They may find In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies Everything you think, do, or say Is in the pill you took today In the year 4545 Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes You won't find a thing to do Nobody's gonna look at you In the year 5555 Your arms are hanging limp at your sides Your legs not nothing to do Some machine is doing that for you In the year 6565 Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too From the bottom of a long black tube In the year 7510 If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then Maybe he'll look around himself and say Guess it's time for the Judgement day In the year 8510 God's gonna shake his mighty head He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been Or tear it down and start again In the year 9595 I'm kinda wondering if man's gonna be alive He's taken everything this old earth can give And he ain't put back nothing Now it's been 10,000 years Man has cried a billion tears For what he never knew Now man's reign is through But through the eternal night The twinkling of starlight So very far away Maybe it's only yesterday In the year 2525 If man is still alive If woman can survive They may find In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies Everything you think, do or say Is in the pill you took today .... Hide What Next?
