Three of the following number triplets follow one common rule. Pick the triplet that breaks the pattern.

1. 4: 16: 256
2. 3: 9: 81
3. 5: 25: 125
4. 6: 36: 1296

Correct answer: 5: 25: 125

Solution

In three triplets, the pattern is: first number squared gives the second, and second number squared gives the third. Only 5: 25: 125 breaks this rule because 25 squared is 625, not 125.
