73) 8 (first number goes up one, second goes down one)
74) KLMH - got it now.
75) 67 ( 7+4=11 11+8=19 19+16=35 35+32=67)
76) W (letter gaps - first 2, then 3, then 4...)
77) 10 (half the difference each time, round up on decimals)
78) -57 (difference between two numbers minus nine each time)
79) O (4 letters in between each two - add or subtract)
80) S (hard to explain)
81) 26 (add ten, minus 5, add ten, minus 5)
82) BMSK (no P?)



Pretty positive about them all except 82.

Thanks, Guys.  Between the 3 of you and me I think I got most of them right.  Not a big deal but my boss asked me (not just me, everybody) to do this and this stuff makes me nervous as Hell.

Quoted:

77) 10 (half the difference each time, round up on decimals)


You got the correct answer, but that's not why it's correct.

The sequence is 60 30 20 15 12

30 = 1/2 of 60

20 = 1/3 of 60

15 = 1/4 of 60

12 = 1/5 of 60

The next number is 10 because 10 = 1/6 of 60

Yeah... It's late. My mind was in the right place - just having a hard time explaining it.
