This sequence is constructed from the sum of successive pairs of primes. The next number is 30.

2+3 = 5

3+5 = 8

5+7 = 12

7+11 = 18

11+13 = 24

13+17 = 30

17+19 = 36

19+23 = 42

.

.

Just add each pair of consecutive prime numbers to find the next number.

It is very likely, however, that this solution is not unique.
