Brainfood Page
Welcome to The Brainfood Page. This page is designed to appeal to a wide age/grade span, since the puzzles rarely require any specialized knowledge. These problems often require a flash of insight, so if you don't see the solution immediately, you may suddenly "get it" days later when you're thinking about something entirely different.
Anyone can participate - just stop by to visit each week for a new puzzle, and if you want, login and submit a solution!

Can you figure out the next number in this sequence?

Please note that you MUST give an explanation in order to get credit for a correct answer.
This problem will remain up through the entire summer. I will grade all submitted solutions at the end of the summer, so my response will serve as a reminder to check for a new puzzle in September!
