This is a simple quiz taken from Radzian’s blog . Do have a go!

This is a mathematical challenge, and it’s been said that:
If you’re an engineer, you should be able to solve it in (under) three minutes (more like 30 seconds), if you’re an architect, in three hours; if you’re a doctor, in six hours; if you’re an accountant, in three months and if you’re a lawyer, probably never.
Good luck ! |

took 2 actuaries (me and Jon) to figure it out under 10 seconds.
2-1=1=1^2
6-2=4=2^2
42-6=36=6^2
1806-42=1764=42^2 (from the series)
the next one should then be 1806^2+1764=3263400
