The next number has to be 41; you always add the powers of three to the previous number beginning with 0. 3^0=1; 1+1=2; 3^1=3; 2+3=5; 3^2=9; 5+9=14; 3^3=27; 14+27=41 the next number would be 122 (81+41); you could also multiply the number by 3 and then substract 1. By the way: x(n)=x(n-1)+3^(x-2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It could also be the Catalan number sequence, found by 1/(n+1) * (2n choose n), in which case the next number would be 42.
