How to work out the answer Letters increment by one every second letter. ccd ... Eef ... ggh! Ist letter of alphabet, then last, 2nd, 2nd last, 3rd, 3rd last 2 interspersed sequences. First decreasing by one: fedc and second increasing by one: ghi J Letters are in triplets decreasing by one. rqp ... rqp .... Rqp Letters go up by three each time. 2nd letter of alphabet, 5th 8th etc. 2 interspersed sequences again. First one decrementing by 2, second incrementing by 2 Letters decrement by 4 each time The gap between letters increases by one each time 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Letters are in triplets which decrement by 3, but starting letter of each triplet increments by one: 10,7,4 ... 11,8,5 Letters double each time 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 - n 2 seqences interspersed, both incrementing by 2 each time Sequence of squares according to place in alphabet: 1, 4, 9, 16 - p Take out the d's and you get a simple alphabetical sequence! Letter are in triplets: letter, letter+1, letter+1, then triplet repeats but incremented by 2. Letters are in pairs which increment by 4 places in the alphabet each time. The odd letters decrement by 4 each time. Each whole triplet increments by one, whilst the letters in the triplet decrease by 3. Take out the k's and you have a simple alphabetical sequence. Each third letter descends by 1 Each letter increments by 7, the alphabet

These are triplets, the first and the last letter of the triplet increments by 1 each triplet. Every second letter increments by 2 Getting hard now! Prime numbers. 1 m, 2 n's, 3 o's, 4 p's.
