15. In the grand tradition of my quizzes, we end with a mathematical pattern. It's kind of hard so I've given you multiple choice. Good luck: 6, 15, 35, 77, ___?

Answer: 143

OK this is how you get it...the numbers are products of each consecutive prime number. That is, the primes are 2,3,5,7,11,13. So the pattern is 6 (2*3), 15 (3*5), 35 (5*7), 77 (7*11), so the next number is 11*13 = 143. Hope you worked it out!
