'H2IQ' Revisited
You need a mind as slippery as an Eel, and a talent for seeing things from a different angle to understand H2IQ. A popular h2g2 quiz for several years, H2IQ
returns to once again tease and frustrate with questions and problems for you to solve. Each week I will repeat a question once used in the 'infamous' H2IQ quiz and all you have to do is answer it in the 'H2IQ Revisited' conversation below. All those who give vaguely the correct answer will have their name printed in next weeks column.
Now for this weeks question...
What is the next number in the series and why?
100, 121, 144, 202, 244, 400, ?
