The five terms below advance by a fixed amount. Supply the sixth.
E, J, O, T, ?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Y
Each letter is five places beyond its predecessor: E(5), J(10), O(15), T(20). Five past 20 is position 25, which is Y. The positions are the multiples of five, which makes the series easy to verify without reciting the alphabet. Z sits at 26 and is the last letter, so it attracts a guess from anyone who assumes the series must finish at the end. Once the positions are written down, a five-step series is just counting in fives, and the only real risk is mistaking the position of the starting letter.
