Series - help!
Hi, can anyone explain this series to me? I just can't figure it out and am beginning to think it is a mistake in a practice paper (but it's more likely that I just can't work it out!):
WQ RU AO QW FN QZ LN RD SO
possible answers are:
TI
TQ
NK
TT
TN
Thanks!

It is TI
I am not so good at explanations. Here goes.
W to Q backwards through the alphabet 6.
A to O backwards 12
F to N backwards 18
L to N backwards 24
S to O backwards 30
So this series jumps 6 each time.
The other series goes forwards -
R to U forwards through the alphabet 3
Q to W forwards 6
Q toz forwards 9
R to d forwards 12
So this series increases by 3 each time.
so the next one in the series needs to go forwards 15 spaces from one letter to the other. The only one to do this is TI.

Dear Justinm
Yes you should look at the letters individually not as pairs. This sequence is using alternative letters….
WQ RU AO QW FN QZ LN RD SO ??
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
R to Q = -1
Q to Q = +0
Q to R = +1
next in sequence +2
R +2 = T
U to W = +2
W to Z = +3
Z to D = +4
next in sequence + 5
D + 5 = I

Hi Patricia
Sorry I am also confused what do we do about the other letters then

Dear Patricia
Yes thank you was having a mental block then I think. So suffice to say first thing child needs to do is work out what pair is required.
Patricia whilst I'm on can you remind me of what score you feel a child should be getting at this stage in tuition. What do you really feel is agodo indicator. DD has just finished last Tutors paper and so we are just moving on to Bright Sparks.
