Look at this series: 53, 53, 43, 43, 33, 33, ... What number should come next?
Options:
(A) A) 23
(B) B) 14
(C) C) 27
(D) D) 53
(E) E) 86 Hmmm, my stream of consciousness:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

In this series, each number is repeated, then 10 is subtracted to arrive at the next number. So, the answer is (A).
