The 15 should be 18; squares in reverse.

2. O,T,T,F,F,S,S,E,N,__
One, Two, ....

3. 1,4,3,16,5,36,7,__
number,square,number,square...

4. 4,8,61,221,244,884,__
4*2=8, 8*2=16, 61*2 = 122, 221*2=442, ....

5. 6,8,5,10,3,14,1,__
no idea ; 3,14 is beginning of pi

6. B,0,C,2,D,0,E,3,F,3,G,__
no idea

7. 2,3,6,1,8,6,8,4,8,3,2,3,2,3,__
no idea

8. a e f h i k l m n t v w b c d g j o p q r s u where do x, y, and z go
dunno; may have something to do with the shape of the letters

I offer
7. 2,3,6,1,8,6,8,4,8,3,2,3,2,3,
2*3=6 ->236
3*6=18 ->3618
6*1=6 ->6186
1*8=8 ->1868
8*6=48 ->86848
6*8=48 ->684848?
8*4=32 ->84832
4*8=32 ->483232
8*3
It breaks down here but...
 
omg thank u sooo much

you guys are life savers this helps so much. thank you soooooo much once again :D
 
5. 6,8,5,10,3,14,1,__

next number is 18

pattern is adding the positive, then negative prime numbers

6 + 2 = 8 +2
8 - 3 = 5 - 3
5 +5 = 10 +5
10 - 7 = 3 - 7
3 + 11 = 14 +11
14 - 13 = 1 -13
1+ 17 = 18 +17
-19
 
sorry the format on the last reply was a bit messy...

the last number on each line is to show the prime number used

6 + 2 = 8 +2
shoule be read as

6 + 2 = 8 ( +2)
 
6. B,0,C,2,D,0,E,3,F,3,G
Barely enough to guess from, but the number of free ends in the letter?
 
7. 2,3,6,1,8,6,8,4,8,3,2,3,2,3,__

ok an interesting multiplication pattern

2 x 3 = 6
2,3,6

3 x 6 = 18
2,3,6,1,8

6 x 1 = 6
2,3,6,1,8,6

1 x 8 = 8
2,3,6,1,8,6,8

8 x 6 = 48
2,3,6,1,8,6,8,4,8

and so on......
