Dodging numbers may be missing numbers in a sequence. For example, the underscore in the following sequence represents such a number: 2, 4, _ , 8, 10.

The solution depends on how many numbers are missing and where they were. If there is only one, If it is between 4 and -5 then -0.5 If it is between -5 and -10 then -8 If it is between -10 and -16 then -13 Of course, the answer would be different if there were more than one number missing.
This question cannot be answered for two main reasons. The first is that you have not specified where, in the sequence, the missing number is meant to be. Clearly that makes a difference.Suppose you assume the missing number is the last in the sequence, then any number that you choose can be the next number. It is easy to find a rule based on a polynomial of order 6 such that the first six numbers are as listed in the question followed by the chosen next number. There are also non-polynomial solutions. Short of reading the mind of the person who posed the question, there is no way of determining which of the infinitely many solutions is the "correct" one. The same applies, wherever in the sequence the missing number was meant to be.

The missing number is 26. The number after 29 is 58.

Dodging numbers may be missing numbers in a sequence. For example, the underscore in the following sequence represents such a number: 2, 4, _ , 8, 10.
If the question is, What is the missing number in the sequence 7, 11, 23, ?, 167? Then each number is 3 times the previous number then deduct 10. 3 x 7 = 21 - 10 = 11 3 x 11= 33 - 10 = 23 3 x 23 = 69 - 10 = 59......the missing number 3 x 59 = 177 - 10 = 167 3 x 167 = 501 - 10 = 491....the next number in the sequence.

To determine the missing number in the sequence 20, 0.8, we need to identify the pattern. One possible pattern is that each number is being divided by 10. In this case, 0.8 divided by 10 equals 0.08. Therefore, the missing number would be 0.08.

The missing number is 34. The progressive difference between the numbers doubles: 4 + 2 = 6 6 + 4 = 10 10 + 8 = 18 18 + 16 = 34 34 + 32 = 66
