  Im not sure if this is picture perfect explaining but ill do my best.
  for 5 and 6 you just add 1 and then you add 1 to the 6 and x it by
  two and then you add 1 to 14 and x it by three and then you add 1 to
  45 and x it by four and then you add 1 to 184 and x it by five and
  then you add 1 to 925 and x it by six and you get the answer which
  is 5550.

  Actually, 926 (925 +1) X 6 is 5556, not 5550.

  5556 is the correct answer, and your method is spot on.

  The RiddleDude had a different method of arriving at the same answer:

  5*1+1 = 6
  6*2+2 = 14
  14*3+3 = 45
  45*4+4 = 184
  184*5+5 = 925
  925*6+6 = 5556

  Brianna, you are today’s winner!
