These series follow a pattern.
This series does not follow the pattern
What is the pattern?
The numbers must be in ascending order. This can be a fun one to have people work out in person, as they test out three-number series and you can tell them whether or not they satisfy the pattern.

You are given the numbers 777, 888 and 999. Using the numbers once and adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing, how can you make 999?
(7 x 7 x 7) + (9 x 9 x 8) + ((9 – 8) x 8) = 999
If other operators were allowed, another solution would be 999 modulo (888 x 777). I’m sure there are more solutions.
(7 x 7 x 7) + (9 x 9 x 8) + ((9 – 8) x 8) = 999
If other operators were allowed, another solution would be 999 modulo (888 x 777). I’m sure there are more solutions.
