Lucy?.. kk, Haven't seen Lucy posting 'round this forum. Wait a minute. LUUUUCCCYYYYYY?????? where are you?

Follow the columns to the right of the "=" and work down

First column Fib's
Second column - even number sequence
Third column - sequential
Last column - reverse of first answer

10 × 2 = 0218
20 × 2 = 1421
30 × 2 = 1632
40 × 2 = 2840

Answer: 2840

Add numbers in each column, i.e first column, 0+1+1=2 - Second column double the count 2-4-6-8, Third column, single count, 1-2-3-4, - then take top numbers 0218 reverse them to become 8120, plug them to last column, so now 40x2 = 2840

Thank you, Frixxxx and TR. I can see my lack in mathematical problem solving is a result of using "Common KOR Math!"

(KOR are my initials) :laugh:
