What is the next number in the following sequence? 41, 29, 35, 23, ?

The correct answer is: 29

To determine the next number in the sequence 41, 29, 35, 23, we need to analyze the pattern. First, we notice that the sequence alternates between two different operations. Starting with the first number, 41, we see a subtraction of 12 to arrive at 29. Next, we add 6 to 29 to get to 35. After that, we subtract 12 again from 35, leading us to 23. Following this alternating pattern, we would then add 6 to the last number, 23. Thus, in this case, we calculate: 23 + 6 = 29. Consequently, the next number in the sequence is 29, confirming it as the correct answer. This consistent addition and subtraction of fixed values forms the basis of the pattern observed within the series.
