Wow, I haven’t felt this dumb in a long time. It took me forever to get it, and I still wonder if my method was some convoluted coincidence that just happened to work. Was it more obvious to you? What’s the logic?

It was from #13 here:

Intelligence Test (Number Patterns)

Please [spoiler] answers.

Yeah, but why?

1588+584=1820; 1820+824=2148; 2148+144=2204; 2204+204=2284; 2284+28*4= 2396

I wish my brain worked that way.

If your brain worked the way my brain worked, you’d currently be working in Kurdistan. And not in a good way.

Thanks. Was that easy to figure out for you?

I am terrible at these things.

You’re not the only one Out of curiosity, Zebra, is this one any easier or harder for you?

I couldn’t answer any of the number-questions (gave up as i didn’t get any answer after a few minutes), but the shapes where pretty easy, if I understood the result correctly. Depends on how the brain is wired, I guess.
