Math Sequence Riddles – It’s never too early for them

If your social media friends are like mine you would have noticed a trend in increasing numbers of math problems being shared. I usually like solving and sometimes trying to solve these math problems. I mean, why not, they are fun.

I learned the secret of starting the day energetic in college, when I did my morning training and went to classes filled with energy, while my friends still had their eyes half closed and were sipping their coffee.

In addition to morning exercise, I have another routine that I am following daily basis. Having a healthy first meal.
