I don't get 23 but I've never been good at sequences.
I see differences between the numbers of 1, 3, and 5. So I add 7 to the final number to make 18.Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!0 -
Numbers are 1, 2, 5, 11, ?
So, difference between first and second number is 1
Second and third number 3, which is the number after 2
Third and fourth number 6, which is the number after 5
Fourth and fifth number therefore should be 12 as 12 follows 11
Hence 23UEFA: Corrupting Football Since 1954 #CTID0 -
I doubled then added 1 to get 23

I got 57! 2 x 5 +1 = 11. So 5 x 11 + 2 = 57.
I don't know why, it just seemed to make sense to me!I just enter and forget...hoping to win something!

Its a well known sequence. Ignore starter number then just double and add 1 each time. Answer is 23. Its a sequence shown on a lot of maths sites.August-September 2017: Lots of stuff
