How to play the Power Sequence Game

1. Identify the Pattern
   Each level presents a sequence of numbers that follow one of two possible rules. You won’t be told which one it is, so you have to figure it out by looking at the numbers provided:
   Squares (x²): A number multiplied by itself.
   Example: 4, 9, 16, 25 (2², 3², 4², 5²)
   Cubes (x³): A number multiplied by itself twice.
   Example: 8, 27, 64, 125 (2³, 3³, 4³, 5³)
   

2. Fill the Gap
   One of the numbers in the four-part sequence is missing and replaced by a “?” input box.
   Analyze the visible numbers: If you see 36 and 49, you know you’re looking at 6² and 7².
   Determine the missing step: If the sequence is 36, 49, ?, 81, the missing number must be 8².
   Input and Verify: Type your answer and click Verify (or hit Enter).
   

3. Scoring and Feedback
   Correct: You’ll hear a high-pitched “sine” beep, the input will glow Emerald, and your score will increase by 10.
   Wrong: You’ll hear a low “triangle” buzz, the input will glow Red, and the box will clear for you to try again.
   Skip: If you hit a wall, click Skip to generate a new sequence.
   

4. Tips
   The Cube Clue: If the numbers jump very quickly (e.g., from 27 to 64 to 125), it is almost always a Cube sequence.
   The First Digit: Most sequences start between 1 and 12 for squares, and 1 and 6 for cubes. If you see a 1, it could be 1² or 1³—look at the second number to confirm the power.
   

Memorize the “Big” Cubes:
4³ = 64
5³ = 125
6³ = 216
