Discussion
Alternate letters have been taken from a stretch of the alphabet. Name the one that comes next.
Y, W, U, S, ?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Q
The letters descend two places at a time: Y(25), W(23), U(21), S(19). Two below 19 is position 17, giving Q. The run picks out alternate letters going backwards from Y, so it is the odd-numbered positions in reverse. R at 18 is the immediately preceding letter and is what a single backward step would give. Alternate letters are among the easiest patterns to spot, and the direction is the only thing that has to be settled before answering.
