Thanks!
Can you show/tell me how you got the answer? After trying different things, I did get 64, but can't remember how I got it. Then I started questioning the answer......so confused!

You know (I HOPE) Aladdin, that the answer is not the "be all and end all"

Most times, people asks questions here because they want to know HOW to solve a problem.

So...you have this sequence:

1.....8......27......?......125.....216

How might the numbers in this sequence relate to the TERM NUMBER?

term number = 1, term value= 1
term number = 2, term value = 8.....wait!!! 2^3 = 8
term number = 3, term value = 27.....OH!!! 3^3 = 27

Seeing a pattern now???

term number = 4, term value = 4^3?????

Aladdin...just giving an answer does not help.
