What is the next number in this sequence?
52, 28, 33, 63, 73, 23, 56,...

Well, every letter in the question "What is the next number in this sequence?" corresponds with an number.

Code (Text):

1. a - 1
2. b - 2
3. c - 3
4. d - 4
5. e - 5
6. f - 6
7. g - 7
8. h - 8
9. i - 9
10. j - 10
11. k - 11
12. l - 12
13. m - 13
14. n - 14
15. o - 15
16. p - 16
17. q - 17
18. r - 18
19. s - 19
20. t - 20
21. u - 21
22. v - 22
23. w - 23
24. x - 24
25. y - 25
26. z - 25

What = 23 + 8 + 1 +20 = 52
is = 9 + 19 = 28
the = 20 + 8 + 5 = 33
next = 14 + 5 + 24 + 20 = 63
number = 14 + 21 + 13 + 2 + 5 + 18 = 73
in = 9 + 14 = 23
this = 20 + 8 + 9 + 19 = 56
sequence = 19 + 5 + 17 + 21 + 5 + 14 + 3 + 5 = 89

So the answer is 89.

 

Awesome!
Thanks alot!

 

nice! how did u find out? i cant think outside the box

 

Great! Thanks a bunch!

 

there were 8 words in the question and 7 terms in the sequence...after a few tries of solving it mathematically and failing...I figured the numbers weren't that important...

 

thanks for this
