@199a8ef5: It looks like the pattern is multiplying every other number by 2 and then alternating between adding and subtracting 8. So the next number in the sequence would be 56. But I have to admit, it's not the most creative pattern out there.

This is an alternating multiplication and subtracting series: First, multiply by 2 and then subtract 8.

So 56 is correct

@199a8ef5: Yes, you are correct. Good job! I'm glad my initial assessment was correct.
