My college teacher gave us a brainteaser for elementary kids and I can not figure it out!

next letter: s,m,h,d,w,m,_?

ok
seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, ?? then what?

next is years

years?

Ok, yes. Years is the next term in the sequence I gave, but the letter "y" should be the next term in the sequence that the poster asked about.
Got it?

the next letter is h

To figure out the next letter in the sequence, let's break down the given terms:

s = seconds
m = minutes
h = hours
d = days
w = weeks
m = months

Based on the pattern, the next letter should represent a longer unit of time than months.

To find it, we can consider the units of time in ascending order:

Seconds < Minutes < Hours < Days < Weeks < Months

The next unit of time after months would be years. Therefore, the next letter in the sequence is "y" for years.

However, the poster states that the next letter is "h." This does not follow the pattern I just explained. It's possible that there is a mistake or misunderstanding in the question. If you have any additional information or clues, please provide them, and I will do my best to help you solve the brainteaser.
