list of numbers

[Leslie]

Sorry if I'm in the wrong section to make this post, but I'm not sure where it should go. I have a problem I don't have a clue how to solve. It's 60, 28, 12, 4, the answer is multiple choice. a)2 b)0 c)-4 d)-8 Any help understanding this would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you,
Leslie

You didn't say what you want to do. It appears to be a sequence.

They are adding a power of 2.

12-4=8=2^3
28-12=16=2^4
60-28=32=2^5


See the pattern?

Thank you so much galactus, I do see the pattern. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help.
