17, 22, 26, 31, 35, 40, 44, … – what's next? This mathematical logic problem will be solved by someone with an IQ above 130

Do you consider yourself a person with a high IQ? If yes, then you probably love solving various problems and puzzles, solving riddles and solving mathematical examples and equations. Well, if not, then we suggest checking the functioning of your brain – what if, in fact, you underestimate the capabilities of your intelligence and in reality your brain works quite actively?

So, only a person with an IQ above 130 can solve the following logic problem. Take a close look at the numbers and try to understand how they relate to each other and why they appear in this particular sequence. We give you 1 minute to decide – don’t forget to time it. So, guess which number should come next:

17, 22, 26, 31, 35, 40, 44, …

Well? Did you manage to guess it in 1 minute? We hope so, but even if the right solution didn’t come to mind, don’t despair – you thought, strained your brain, “moved” your neurons, and this means that you once again trained your intellect, and next time you’ll complete the task faster. And the answer is:

To each number you need to add first 5, then 4, then again 5 and again 4, etc. That is, 17+5=22; 22+4=26; 26+5=31; 31+4=35; 35+5=40; 40+4= 44; 44+5=49.

So the correct answer is 49.
