Number Series #1

By laran | Published: 2007/10/31

The Problem

What are the next two numbers in this series? This is a purely arithmetic series.

30, 33, 42, 50, 55, 80, 88, 152, 162, 174, ?, ?

The Solution

202, 206. To figure out the next number in the series multiply each of the non-zero digits of the previous number and add them to that previous number.

    It’s “heavy on the geek” as a designer friend of mine said to me the other day :)
