It depends on what number you would like. Given any real number, it is possible to find a real polynomial of degree 5 that will go through these 5 and the nominated 6th number.

Fitting a polynomial of degree 4 to these numbers, the fitted next number is 44.

Un = (-5n4 + 58n3 - 232n2 + 371n - 186)/6 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

------------------------

All the above is true but just in case the simple answer is the real answer, I'd bet on 4 (then -2, 5,-3)
