14 The pattern is double, minus 3, double, minus 3, etc.

Another point of view:

Any number that you like. Given a sequence of any six numbers, it is possible to find a polynomial of order 5 that will go generate all of them.

For example:

Un = (52x5 - 935x4 + 6270x3 - 19345x2 + 27038x - 12600)/120 will next go to 1.

Un = (61x5 - 1070x4 + 7035x3 - 21370x2 + 29504x - 13680)/120 will next go to 10.

Un = (76x5 - 1295x4 + 8310x3 - 24745x2 + 33614x - 15480)/120 will next go to 25.

Take your pick, the suitably selected coefficients will do the rest.
