365 would be next because you multiply the last number by three then subtract one.
Let's see. 122 + 14 = 136. 136 + 14 = 150. 150 + 14 = ?
The differences between the pairs of numbers up to that point are 31, 32, 33, 34. If the difference between the fifth number and the sixth number is equal to 35, that would make the next number equal to 122 + 243 = 265.

365 since the pattern is times three minus one
The next number works out as 365
The differences between the pairs of numbers up to that point are 31, 32, 33, 34. If the difference between the fifth number and the sixth number is equal to 35, that would make the next number equal to 122 + 243 = 265.

41 should be in between 14 and 122
2,5,14 - - 122 Difference between 5 & 2 = 3 = 3^(1) Difference between 14 & 5 = 9 = 3^(2) This leads one to suppose the next difference will be 3^(3) = 27 Hence 14 + 27 = 41 Similarly the next difference again will 3^(4) = 81 Hence 41 + 81 = 122 As required. So the sequence is 2,5,14,41,122. NB The next difference again is 3^(5) = 243 Hence 122 + 243 = 365 is the next term in the sequence. =
The number 7 comes next.
The pattern in the sequence is that each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 3 and subtracting 1. 1 x 3 - 1 = 2 2 x 3 - 1 = 5 5 x 3 - 1 = 14 14 x 3 - 1 = 41 41 x 3 - 1 = 122 Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 122 x 3 - 1 = 365.
