6184 then 17? maybe 49 next?
whatever the pattern, every entry is a single digit integer
the next numbers could be anything between 0 and 9
that does narrow things down a bit, down to just 10 possibilities
maybe try each one and see if that completes some kind of pattern
the 6,1 is sort of the reverse of 1,7 with the 6 increased by 1
so take 84, reverse it to get 48 and increase the 8 by 1 to get 4,9
IF this is a kindergarten question, the instructor is playing games with you, or your child, to make you think but unless there's a clear pattern, any pattern is possible,
whatevrer the pattern it's not that of an arithmetic or geometric sequence.
Maybe scratch this answer, as I just noticed you have it written two different ways
first time as 6,1,8,41, ...
then 2nd time as 6,1,8, 4, 1, ...
IF 41 is right, then double digits could be next. That narrows it down to 100 different possibilities
you could look for 2 patterns in one. alternating. 6,8,7 as one pattern
then 1, 41 as the other. then mix them together to get 6,1,8,41, 7
the next entry would be the 1, 41 pattern, which seems to end in 1 but an increasing tens digit, maybe 81 next?
