The answer depends on where, in the sequence, the missing number is meant to go.
Furthermore, whatever number you choose and wherever in the sequence it is meant to be, it is always possible to find a polynomial of degree 5 that will go through all five points given in the question and your chosen one.
Using a polynomial of degree 4, the next number is 213.
The rule is
Un = (103n4 - 1242n3 + 5201n2 - 8670n + 4680)/24 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

You always double the number.
the rule is plus 4 divided by 3 plus 4 divided by two==========================================Answer #2:The missing number is 8. It belongs between 24 and 12 .The rule is: Add 4, divide by 3, rinse and repeat.

Don't know about the number but 'missing' is misspelled
32 The rule is to add 3n, where n is the number of the number in the series. (add 3, 6, 9, 12).

20/12 = 18/12 = 12/3
There are infinitely many possible answers. If the missing number is the second in the sequence, it could be part of an arithmetic progression and so equal 10.4, or it could be in geometric progression and so would be 4, or harmonic progression which would give 1/0.65 = 1.54, approx. Furthermore, he missing number cold be the first or third in the sequence.
