A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

What are the next three numbers in the pattern: 375,000; 475,000; 575,000; … ?

Question 2 of 3

In a game, the score can only change in jumps of 10,000 or 100,000 points. Alex begins with 620,000 points, then the score goes up by 10,000 points three times in a row, and after that it goes down by 100,000 points two times in a row. What is Alex's final score?

Question 3 of 3

Starting at 800,000 and counting backwards by 100,000, which list shows the next three numbers?
