The question, which was posted by the TikTok account @selfdevelopment71 has stumped viewers online, but they explained the results. The sequence follows a pattern of how many letters correspond to each number.
So, number six would be three, because the word 'six' has three letters. We've broken it down below:
- 1(ONE) has three letter spelling 1=3.
- 2(TWO) is the same as it is =3,
- 3(THREE) =5
- 4(FOUR)=4
- 5(FIVE)=4
- And so 6(SIX)=3
Did you manage to work it out? Don't worry if not, as the more brainteasers and puzzles you do, the easier they can become. If you enjoyed this, why not try this baffling brain teaser? Put your IQ skills to the test again and you've got to find the hidden face in this image in nine seconds or less.
It's recommended you play against the clock, but if you'd prefer to play alone, we won't tell. As previously mentioned, it's well worth giving the puzzles a go, even if you exceed the narrow time constraints.
