Katie is standing beside me and said the second one is easy. 60

Echo is saying that it is 210.

Della Hill said...

Echo is right.
When you divide by 1/2, you actually multiply by 2.
So 100 X 2 = 200, 200 + 10 = 210.

Good job.

I'll agree with Echo on the second question.

The sequence for the first one is

o, t, t, f, f, s, s, e, n, t, e, t, t, f, f, s, s, e, n, t, t, t, t, t...

If this puzzle was applied to someone from Mexico the answer would be

u, d, t, c, c, s, s, o, n, d, o, d, t, c, q, d, d, d, d , v, v, v, v, v, v...

If this puzzle was asked to someone in France their answer would be to surrender and wait for the US to come and save thier bacon again.

Mike,
Correct, correct, and absolutely right.
And you made me laugh too.
So has anyone else figured out what the sequence is?

Della Hill said...

Answer:
The sequence is one, two, three, four, etc.
The letters of the sequence are the first letter in each number counting from one.
So when Mike answered he gave the answer in spanish as well as english.
