  1. If the slogan is “feel smart again” how come these morning challenges always make me feel stupid?

    (Seriously though, keep them coming)

  2. Phhhht. Number sequence teasers should have to do with the properties of numbers, not the vagaries of a particular alphabet.

  3. You could use a polynomial to get an infinite number of answers to this question, which is why you don’t see these questions on SATs anymore.

  4. Maybe I’m just dumb, but could it not also be 23? 3+7=10; 11+12=23?

  5. This is a sequence, not a series (the numbers are not being added).

  6. Even so, if that were the case, 7+10 is not equal to 11.
