What’s the final number in this sequence:

240, 260, 280, 280, 300, 350, ?

Here is the SOLUTION.

  1. That was very…specific.

  2. Thank you for being kind in your word choice there, Caitlin.

    I have a soft spot for those cars. I owned one when I was a young adult, and a few years back, I purchased a 1977 280Z as my “midlife crisis” car. I took it out for a drive during the Woodward Dream Cruise this past weekend (a huge one-day car event held in metro Detroit) so it’s been on my mind ever since.

  3. I figured out Cars from the title, but not being anythign near a car-buff myself, I was at a complete loss! Good brain stretch none-the-less!

  4. I think this was the first one of these i got. I didn’t know the current number, but i recognized the sequence

  5. The name of the game (“Driven”) gave it away for me. Not sure if I would have recognized the sequence otherwise.

  6. NAILED IT!!!!

    But then again, I’m a car guy. I have a double mid-life crisis going on. I created opportunity to buy the same car I had in high school (not the exact one, but one like it) and have been using it daily for two years.

    In the spring I plan to buy my next daily driver, an S-2000.

  7. got it! yeah the name of the game “driven” is what made the numbers make sense

  8. I thought perhaps it had to do with degrees you might turn your steering wheel through of a particular manuever.

  9. Thought it was 450; you know, how much I benched in the weeks leading up to now. I’m such a beast.

  10. So you’ve been tracking my weight!
