Ok.

I seriously tried to apply my knowledge of mathematics to try and crack that sith passcard, but i couldnt get it at all. the exponential one tripped me up. to remind you of the pattern...

1 32 81 64 25

the available answers are: 1, 3, 6, and 7.

now...

seeing as how each exponent is subtracted by one each time, i thought the answer was 1. instead it was 6. can someone explain that for me?


1 exp 6 = 1x1x1x1x1x1 = 1
2 exp 5 = 2x2x2x2x2 = 32
3 exp 4 = 3x3x3x3 = 81
4 exp 3 = 4x4x4 = 64
5 exp 2 = 5x5 = 25 

6 exp 1 = 6 <--- answer

The exponent dicreases by 1 each time. I studied a lot of math so getting this card was easy, but I could never make the sith prisoner confess, I guess that was beacuse I hadn't enough "persuation" points.
