Enter the missing number 200 188 152 80 8?

Answer 1

The sequence appears to decrease by progressively larger amounts: 200 to 188 is a decrease of 12, then 188 to 152 is a decrease of 36, followed by a decrease of 72 from 152 to 80, and finally a decrease of 72 from 80 to 8. The pattern suggests that the missing number should be a result of a similar decrease. If we follow the trend, the next number would be 8 - (the next increase, which is 64), giving us -56.
