matherapist 		Sometimes you have to look outside the box. That was a problem someone gave me in the late 50's at Cornell

math_fanatic 		I just figured it out before the hint but thanks for the tip. It just had to swirl in the back of my brain all day.

So the letters that have just straight lines go on the top and those with curves go on the bottom:
So the next term would be T/QRS and if UVWXYZ have to be smashed together into one term because there aren't enough letters to make two 4-letter terms out of them then they would make VWXYZ/U

matherapist 		Hint: forget mathematics . think of the letters as geometric figures

math_fanatic 		Can you repost the question and give us a hint?
I really can't see a pattern in these terms, even with the
additional term of T/QRS which you indicated is the
next term in the series.

Thanks! :)

samzappala 		(QRS)/T, opposite of A/(BCD); (MN)/(OP) is neutral.
