We easily see the pattern of the odd-numbered terms, start with 64 and take half each time: 64, __, 32, __, 16, __, 8, __, 4, __, 2, __ Then we notice that the term on the left of 32 is 3 more than 32, and the term on the right of 32 is 3 less than 32, 64, 35, 32, 29, 16, __, 8, __, 4, __, 2, __ So the one just before 8 is 3 more than 8, or 11, and the term on the right of 8 is 3 less than 8, or 5. And the pattern goes like this: 64, 35, 32, 29, 16, 11, 8, 5, 4, 5, 2, -1 Edwin
