Hey Ladies,

To make a long story short, I got called in my bosses office on Wednesday of last week and he said he could no longer afford me and my last day would be Friday. He actually wound up bringing his wife back in the office. SO here I am out in the job market. I interviewed with an Insurance Agency today that went well, however they asked me to take this Personal Assessment and return to them. He said most people tend to get 100percent. Yeah right. Well anyway there are 3 questions that I was wanting to enlist your help with if you can. 1st one is: What number comes next ( 12 31 25 51 49 ?) then the 2nd: What Letter comes next (B E K A Z) and last but not least.
what is the next answer. (XX O XXX OO X) now here are the choices for that one

4/X 2/O 9/XO 5/OX very confusing.. If you understand please explain it..

Thanks for any help you can give, I really want to get this job. Instead of making $10.00 an hour I would be getting 16.00 with benefits. This test does not mean everything but it would be nice not to look stupid.. Heh like I am doing now..

Thanks

Hey I have an Update. My father in law figured out the BECAZ one the letter that comes next is U because it goes like this... vowell consonant vowell consonant and so on so it would be A Vowell...

However I have no clue on the other though.. I am also racking my brain..

Thanks for the replies..

What number comes next ( 12 31 25 51 49 ?) I'd go with 71 (31+20=51, 51+20=71) I think the pattern is 12x2=24+1=25 and then 24x2=48+1=49 on the other part

then the 2nd: What Letter comes next (B E K A Z) I think you got this one already!

and last but not least.

what is the next answer. (XX O XXX OO X) all i know is an O should come next so probably the 5/OX

Hope that helps a little. I'm an accountant, numbers are my life!!

WOW -
That was impressive. I was close on the number thing, but the XO thing really threw me a loop.
LOL
