Find the missing number 14 9 12 12 10 15 8 18 6 21 24?

13168? hmm too short to know for sure. But there is a pattern I found.

For the first number the difference from 2 and 0 is 2. So you times the difference by 2 (the number) and then add 1 to get 5.

For the second number the difference from 5 and 2 is 3. So you times 3 (the difference) by 5 the number and then subtract 1 to get 14.

For the third number the difference from 14 and 5 is 9. So 9 times 14 and then you subtract 4 to get 122.

So, for the next number you would take the difference from 122 and 14 which is 108, then times that by 122 and get 13176, then following the pattern of (1, -1, -4) you would subtract 13176 by 8 to get 13168.

The answer depends on your definition of statement, It is a grammatical correct English declarative sentence which may be a statement by one definition.

  • It may be cold without snow falling because it is raining.
  • It may be cold without snow falling because sleet is falling instead.
