i dont know if it something the teacher made up or if its some rare algebra term but it was a question asked today and no one could figure it out.
Here is a prolem:
Zingers: 9, 41, 57, 73, 17, 89, 33
Not zingers: 7, 22, 45, 8, 59, 36, 68, 13
Which of the following are zingers: 4, 55, 63, 25, 49, 24, 77, 92, 38, 42, 20, 65
What is a zinger? Explain.
You dont have to explain or watever and answer like which ones are zingers, but i just need to know wat the hell a zinger is and wat the patten or watever is. I really dont know anything about this so i pretty confused.

It isnt something he is jokin around with. Okay i guess he made it up, but do u see any similarities between the numbers?

Each of your zingers is 1 more than a multiple of 8, 8n+1 for some integer value of n. You could say they're in the same equivalence class modulo 8. So 25 (3•8+1), 49 (6•8+1), and 65 (8•8+1) are zingers.
"What" has an H in it. Leaving it out just advertises your youth. Or is it a typing problem? You left out quite a few other letters.

A zinger is just a term that your teacher is using to describe those numbers in that first set. It doesn't actually mean anything.

Zinger is just the name he is using for the set. Like when you see logic problems that have silly names like in "If some bobos are blurbs and all blurbs are bakers, are all bobos bakers?"
