High IQ holders solve the number sequence in only 11 seconds, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/weird-news\/only-those-high-iq-can-31063203?_ga=2.200585454.1978494438.1696409091-2005987928.1694414997\">The Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you found the answer within that time&nbsp;frame, then you may actually be a intellectually gifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you didn&#8217;t &#8211; not to fret, we can give you a helping hand in solving this perplexing brain teaser.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all boils down to knowing your times tables when trying to connect the dots of this enigmatic puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a second to give it another go before scrolling ahead, as the answer will soon be coming up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True genius can solve the tricky puzzle within 11 seconds, but there is no need to fret if you did not get it on your first go<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the long awaited conclusion, what is under that question mark? The answer &#8211; the number six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you know your times tables well, then this one may have been considerably easy&nbsp;to spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each number is multiplied by the figure preceding it, meaning if 7 = 42, then 7 is multiplied by 6 to get 42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a similar fashion, the following number 6 = 30, is also times by the number prior to it, 5, to give a sum of 30, and 5 = 20 is a result of a multiplication of 5 x4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, if 4 were to be included in the sequence it would be times by 3 to create 12, giving us the answer to the brain teaser, 3 x 2 = 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you solve the&nbsp;tricky maths sequence?
