  4. Cause is not vowel then vowel then not vowel then vowel then not so next one is vowel. It is either E , I or U ..Then J is the 10th letter and A is the first letter their difference is 9..Then S is the 19th letter and O is the 15th letter their difference is 4...If the letter is E which is the 5th letter.. The difference between N and E is 9..As N is the 14th letter , 14-5=9...So the pattern is 9 then 4 then 9 for the difference...

  5. Hi, Carmen.
    Very interesting response.
    Did you come up with the pattern yourself or did your parents help you out?

    Any other different answers?

  6. Hi,I did it myself...
    Is the answer letter I?
    Maybe the pattern is letter N is the 14th letter , every consonant is bigger than the vowel after it ..So the next vowel cannot more than the 14thletter..So I guess is I cause U is far way behind.. =D

  7. Hi Carmen a.k.a Cherrie,

    Nope, it is not (I). Your initial answer (E) is not the answer I have but it is an interesting pattern you have brought up. I might give you some consolation points for good try.

  9. Maybe the answer is Q. It is generally originated from the Latin quaestio, meaning "question", which was abbreviated to Qo. The uppercase Q was written above the lowercase o, and this mark was transformed into the modern symbol. Another hypothesis about the origin of the question mark proposes that the mark originated in the 9th century, when it appeared as a point followed by the curvy bit written slanted (similar to the tilde, although the tilde was tilted more upward to the right). The point has always indicated the end of a sentence. The curved line represented the intonation pattern of a spoken question, and may be associated with a kind of early musical notation, like neumes.
