SAME FIVE

Friday, October 9, 2026

The five questions everyone played that day, in the order they were asked, with the correct answers and why they are right.

Too few players took part this day for results to be shown.

  1. Question 01 · Patterns · Easier · Pick one

    What comes next? AZ, BY, CX, …

    • DW✓ Correct answer
    • DX
    • EW
    • CW

    The first letter moves forwards from A and the second moves backwards from Z, so next is D and W. Pairs often hide two separate patterns: follow each position on its own.

  2. Question 02 · Prediction · Easier · Pick one

    You roll a fair six-sided die. Which is more likely: a number greater than 2, or an odd number?

    • A number greater than 2✓ Correct answer
    • An odd number
    • They are equally likely
    • It can't be known

    Greater than 2 covers 3, 4, 5 and 6 — four faces. Odd covers 1, 3 and 5 — three faces. With equally likely outcomes, compare by counting how many outcomes each event covers.

  3. Question 03 · Visual · Medium · Pick one

    Which digit still reads as the same digit after rotating it 180°?

    • 6
    • 7
    • 8✓ Correct answer
    • 9

    Rotated 180°, 6 and 9 turn into each other, 7 becomes unreadable, and 8 looks the same. That's why 6 and 9 are often underlined on numbered balls and tiles.

  4. Question 04 · Logic · Medium · Pick one

    Five runners finish a race. Hana beats Fay, Fay beats Dev, Dev beats Eli, and Gus finishes last. Who finishes second?

    • Hana
    • Fay✓ Correct answer
    • Dev
    • Eli

    Chaining the clues gives Hana, Fay, Dev, Eli, then Gus last, so Fay is second. Writing order clues as one line (Hana > Fay > Dev > Eli > Gus) makes positions easy to read off.

  5. Question 05 · Patterns · Harder · Pick one

    What comes next? O, T, T, F, F, S, S, …

    • E✓ Correct answer
    • N
    • T
    • S

    These are the first letters of One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, so Eight (E) is next. Letter sequences often hide a well-known list.
