Your Answer: No Answer Given
This question requires recognizing a numerical pattern based on cubes of numbers. The problem is to determine which number Barney likes, based on the pattern in the given examples.
Barney likes numbers such as 27, 216, and 343 but does not like numbers such as 25, 220, or 345. The key here is that Barney likes numbers that are perfect cubes (i.e., numbers that can be expressed as the cube of an integer):
- 27 is 33.
- 216 is 63.
- 343 is 73.
Using this pattern, the correct answer is 1000, as it is a perfect cube (103).
