World Maths Day Challenge

In today’s digital world, our day-to-day lives are controlled by computers. STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are the foundations of our technological lives. Today, on World Math’s Day, we are celebrating one branch of the STEM subjects — I bet you can’t guess which one!

Nothing happens on a computer without numbers. Every tweet you post, video you upload and item of clothing you buy, it all boils down to the numbers ‘0’ and ‘1’.

This World Maths Day, we thought we would put your number skills to the test with a cryptic maths puzzle for you to solve.

Can you predict the next two values in the sequence:
