While we’re at it…
complete this pattern
4, 5, 35, 56, 83, ?
It’s kinda culture-specific but not really.
Think laterally.
I spent 4 hours on this. Was Royally pissed when I figured it out.
Next number is 84.
The pattern is:
Add 1, Add 3 x 10, Add 3 X 7, add 3 X 9, add 1, add 4 x 10, add 4 X 7, add 4 X 9, add 1, add 5 x 10, add 5 x 7, add 5 X 9…
As I mentioned in the other thread, there there is a theorem in number theory that, given any sequence of real numbers x[sub]1[/sub], x[sub]2[/sub], x[sub]3[/sub], … x[sub]n[/sub], and any real number y, you can find a formula so that x[sub]n+1[/sub] = y.
Can somebody explain the ‘culture-specific’ bit?
Right, but I think in this case we’re dealing with a bit of trivia, not mathematics. 
Whatever. Keep at it.
How I wish that was mentioned when I was given the puzzle.
The solution is elementary. Y’all need to be busy bees, about it though- a calculator won’t help.
Googled it. Man, that’s really obscure. How many people know the periodic table off the top of their heads?
And if you think about it. Not really.
What group of numbers not mathematically related are independent of regional history or culture. One possible answer is last two digits of years. The one used here is periodic table.

Please.
Complete this pattern please.
It’s not independent of language, though.
I thought so too…
But I searched through Google.fr and .de and the pages en francais und deutsch, both show names the same as in English.
I’m guessing since the names are latinesque and the periodic table is universal/non-cultural, no regional scientific community has sought to have different names.
I’m not completely sure about this.
