Hint
This is a tricky question related to number bases.
Answer
200.
Each number in the sequence is a representation of the number 32 in different bases, starting with base 10.
Base 10: 32 = 3 x 10^1 + 2 x 10^0 = 3 x 10 + 2 = 32
Base 9 : 35 = 3 x 9^1 + 5 x 9^0 = 3 x 9 + 5 = 32
Base 8 : 40 = 4 x 8^1 + 0 x 8^0 = 4 x 8 + 0 = 32
Base 7 : 44 = 4 x 7^1 + 4 x 7^0 = 4 x 7 + 4 = 32
Base 6 : 52 = 5 x 6^1 + 2 x 6^0 = 5 x 6 + 2 = 32
Base 5 : 112 = 1 x 5^2 + 1 x 5^1 + 2 x 5^0 = 1 x 25 + 1 x 5 + 2 = 32
Base 4 : 200 = 2 x 4^2 + 0 x 4^1 + 0 x 4^0 = 2 x 16 + 0 + 0 = 32

Puzzle 606
Can you find every occurrence of the word APRIL that appears in this grid (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally)?
The hint will reveal the number of times it occurs, but where are they?
Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the letters cannot be selected.
Note: BrainBashers has a Dark Mode option. For BrainBashers, I'd recommend not using your browser's built-in dark mode, or any dark mode extensions (sometimes you can add an exception for a specific website).
