Dennis the cabbie

A cabbie named Dennis is known for his superb driving record. Dennis began his day going down the street in front of his house headed South. He turned right at the stop sign, but he breezed right through without stopping. At the next intersection, he turned left—even though there was a "no left turn" sign. A few blocks later, he turned left at a red light and went down a one-way street headed the wrong direction. But Dennis never broke any traffic laws. How could this be possible?

Answer: He was walking

Q: What number comes next? 0, 2, 4, 12, 48,

A: 240

How?

2 x 0 = 0

2 x 1 = 2

2 x (2 x 1) = 4

2 x (3 x 2 x 1) = 12

2 x (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 48

2 x (5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 240
