I pride myself in math, but didn't get the answer to your analyst quiz:

What's the missing # in the series below:

2 10 _ 2074

But, the answer makes no sense, the series is supposed to be: ((x*6)-2), and the missing number is 346. If that's ((x to the sixth power) - 2) I get:

x=1 ((1*6)- 2) = - 1
x=2 ((2*6)- 2) = 34

so that doesn't work.

If the formula is ((x TIMES 6)- 2) I get:

x=1 ((1*6)-2) = 4
x=2 ((2*6)-2) = 10
x=3 ((3*6)-2) = 16

that doesn't fit the series either.

Help: inquiring minds want to know?????
