Which number replaces the question mark?
23 (529) 185 16 (256) 326 64 (4096) ?
Don't know which puzzle you're answering, Mark, but this one is unanswered .............and its not 10. That doesn't look simple. The middle no. is the square of the first but after that...

It had me stumped too so I cheated and looked at the answer.
If you want a start, look at the relationship between the first numbers and those inside the bracket. However, that's a bit of a red herring. The key to ? is the (number) and the one that follows.

The first step is not arithmetical, the second step is!

I get 1726 as well. i think you'd have to be a maths wizard to get that answer without a clue.

Wow, I really went back and forth on this one, but thankfully the clues (and others giving the correct answer) got me there in the end!
