I have a friend who is applying for a job, on the "test" there is this question:





Here is the sequence of letters.  what are the next two.


**



           A  Z  E  B  L  Y  O  ____    ____


**





Can anyone figure this out? It stumped me.

What's your logic?  I figure there's a numeric pattern between the letters, but I'm not going to sit down and calculate it.

No logic. Copied down the letters wrong. Posted answer to wrong question, then reread the question.

Since the sequence was incorrect, who do I send the bill for my time to?

What kind of test is this, and was there any extra context to figure that out? That's pretty rough unless he will be hunting patterns as a job.

Appears to be similar to I.Q or another intelligence related test. Had to take one like it for a mechanical engineering position a few years back.

C U if the L is supposed to be an I, as I suspect it should be.

Otherwise, totally clueless.
