Personally, the most logical for me would be 22.
The sequence appears to be decreasing by 3, then increasing by 3. Following this pattern, starting from 33, if we subtract 3, we get 30. Thus, the missing number is 30. The complete sequence would be 33, 30, 24, 27.
The next number is 26-2 = 24 followed by 24-1 = 23
The next numbers in the sequences are 48, 96, 192, 384, etc. The pattern is that each subsequent number is a doubling of the previous number.
Each number is being multiplied by 8.8 x 1536 = 12,288.
The following numbers go into 24. 1,2,3,4,6,8 and 12
It's not possible to 'complete' it, as it has potentially an infinite number of terms. The next five terms after those shown are: 10, 4, -3, -11, -20 . After those, there are only an infinite number more.
Not sure about "completing" the pattern since there following is the solution from an infinite sequence. You can fit the polynomial: t(n) = (-45n6 + 993n5 - 8385n4 + 33895n3 - 66930n2 + 59192n - 15360)/240 with n = 1, 2, 3, ... and the next term will be -308.
Judging by the sequence so far, it appears as though the differences are increasing by 3, while the added numbers are increasing by 6. Therefore, following 17 will be 24 + 6 = 30. Following 30 will be 17 + 3 = 20.
It is 24 and it should be 25 as a square number
Oh honey, it's like a rollercoaster ride with these numbers. The pattern here is going up by 3, then down by 4, then up by 3 again, and so on. So, following that trend, the next number would be 25. But hey, who am I to tell you what to do? Do whatever floats your boat!
Each 4 terms have the pattern: (1st number), (triple the 1st number), (half of the 2nd number), (one more than the 3rd number ---> the new 1st number)10 - 30 - 15 - 1616 - 48 - 24 - 2525 - 75 - 37.5 - 38.5
Any of the following... 24=n*0.75 0.75*n=24 (75*n)/100=24
