According to Wittgenstein's Finite Rule Paradox every finite sequence of numbers can be a described in infinitely many ways and so can be continued any of these ways - some simple, some complicated but all equally valid.
The simplest polynomial solution is T(n) = (103*n^4 - 1242*n^3 + 5201*n^2 - 8670*n + 4680)/24 so that the next term is 213.
13 is one possibility. If the pattern is -9, +18, -8, +16... -7 would lead to the next number. +14 (27) would be after that.
The answer is: 12.
10 ten
32 The rule is to add 3n, where n is the number of the number in the series. (add 3, 6, 9, 12).

There is a "Fibonacci" like series is that each digit is the sum of the preceding two numbers: 4 + 8 = 12 8 + 12 = 20 So the series continues: 12 + 20 = 32 20 + 32 = 52 32 + 52 = 84 52 + 84 = 136 and so on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- What number do you want to be next? Give me a number and I'll give you a polynomial so that putting in 1, 2, 3, 4 gives the values 4, 8, 12, 20 and putting in 5 gives the number you want.

Hi
The next number is 20.
