Eggs 2
Which number should be the next one in this series?
5 23 35 41 ??
5 23 35 41 ??
Hint
1. No addition required (kind of ....)2. The EGGS in the title might make a DIFFERENCE.
Answer
41.The difference between terms decreases from 18 to 12 to 6 to 0.
The first hint suggests the fact that you do not need to add anything to the last term to get the answer.
The second hint lets you know the DIFFERENCE between terms, is in multiples of 6, just like EGGS in a box.

Congratulations on your first teaser mathmama! Interesting!
well mi eggs come in packs of 18
I buy them by weight.
Thanks Brainster. For those of you who buy eggs in other quantities, sorry.
Sorry...you lost me
I got the teaser answer right away, but then I read the hint and thought perhaps I was wrong... I was not. The answer is very easy without the hint. I believe the hint is confusing. Probably because I buy eggs 5 dozen at a time.
...and I buy eggs by the dozen. Thanks anyway, Mathmama. Keep submitting them!
I don't get it
I never buy eggs in sets of 6
But anyhow, it is a nice one.
