Explanation:

this is really complicated and tricky.

to create the next number, you have to add the first 2 digits of the previous number, then subtract the 3rd from the 2nd digit, multiply the 3rd and the 4th digit, and finally divide the 4th digit by the 5th.

so,

8+8 = 16

8-5 = 3

5×1 = 5

1/1 = 1

giving 16351 as next number.

the missing number we get then

1+6 = 7

6-3 = 3

3×5 = 15

5/1 = 5

giving 73155 as the next (missing) number.

control :

7+3 = 10

3-1 = 2

1×5 = 5

5/5 = 1

gives us 10251 as next number - correct.

but then it will end

1+0 = 1

0-2 = -2 ???? take the absolute value ?

2×5 = 10

5/1 = 5
