Title: math problem / puzzel
Post by: jcassity on July 01, 2009, 08:51:48 AM

If you're an engineer , you should be able to solve it in (under) three minutes,
if you're an architect, in three hours;
if you're a doctor, in six hours;
if you're an accountant, in three months and
if you're a lawyer, probably never.

if you're good at math or logical problems, solve this challenge and the
answer is the password to open the spreadsheet to which you can add your
name to the hall of fame.

What is the missing number in this logical series?

1, 2, 6, 42, 1806, ____???

The answer is the password to open the spreadsheet that can be provided upon request. If you figure it out, open the spreadsheet, type your name in, save it and resend it to your friends.

I have the spreadsheet if anyone wants it to add thier name and pass it on.
