What are the next two letters in the series? D E J A F E M A A P M A J U J U _ _

A U First two letters of months of the year. DEcember JAnuary etc

Why this works

The riddle cleverly uses the first letters of the months of the year, but instead of listing them in order, it intersperses them with some letters that are not part of the month names, leading to a bit of confusion. When we break down the sequence, we find that it actually follows the pattern of the months: D for December, J for January, F for February, and so on. Thus, after J for June, the next two letters in the series are A for August and U for September, completing the pattern of the first letters of the months!

Common Wrong Answers

“M A”

While 'M A' could represent the months of March and May, they are not the next in the series as the riddle specifically looks for the first two letters of the months in chronological order.

“J A”

Though 'J A' could suggest June and July, the series is focused on the order of months starting from December, leading to 'A U' for April and August.

“D E”

'D E' represents December and January, but they are already included earlier in the sequence, and the riddle is asking for the next two letters following the established pattern.
