This is an easy one.

Find the 2 missing numbers in the following sequence:

2,4,5,25,_,_

I have one valid answer . If any of you have some other valid answer , please feel free to share it. :)

I will post my answer later.

It looks like you have a sequence where it's x, x^2, (x+3), (x+3)^2.

So following this logic, the next two are 8, 64.

26 & 52

the pattern is multiply by the number(ex. 2x2=4) thats the answer then for the next answer you add one(ex. 4+1=5)

I see your reasoning for the 26, but not the 52. Was that supposed to be 26x26, or am I not understanding correctly?
