Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?
3, 8, 15, 25, 40, 62, 95, ?

Let's find the difference between consecutive terms of the series:
8−3=5

15−8=7

25−15=10

40−25=15

62−40=22

95−62=33

Now, let's look at the differences: 5, 7, 10, 15, 22, 33.
Let's find the double difference (difference of differences):

7−5=2

10−7=3

15−10=5

22−15=7

33−22=11

The double differences are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, which are consecutive prime numbers!
The next prime number after 11 is 13.
Therefore, the next difference will be:

33+13=46
The next term in the series will be:

95+46=141
