Puzzles are an excellent way to enhance your cognitive abilities, aiding concentration and improving memory. This particular brainteaser asks for the next letter in two sequences of the alphabet: "A, D, G, J, M, P" for the first line and "C, G, K, O, S, ?" for the second.

This seemingly simple puzzle has left others stumped as they try to determine which letter should conclude the second sequence. "Just for fun, answer this" the brainteaser prompts.

Those who have taken up the challenge have since come up with a clever solution that makes sense of what initially appears to be a random jumble of letters.

But there's a method to the madness of what seemed like a random series of letters. The link between them has since been unveiled by sharp-eyed puzzle solvers who managed to crack the brainteaser. While it may appear as two separate chains of letters, the puzzle actually needs both rows pieced together to reveal the final letter.

In response to the perplexed mother and daughter duo, one user suggested that the solution lies in the space between the letters and the increase of each row. They penned: "First row skips two letters - A (BC) D(EF) G (HI) J... Second row skips three letters C (DEF) G (HIJ) K (LMN) O (PQR) S.."

Another explanation leading to the same conclusion was offered by a different user, who noted: "The number of skipped letters between the top and bottom increases by one each time. a(b)c, d(ef)g, g(hij)k, etc."

An answer for this particular brain teaser was eventually unearthed as users confirmed the final letter in the pattern. Using the solution provided by puzzle players on the Reddit post, the correct answer to the job application's fun final question would be "W".
