which number comes next
2,5,14,41,122

As you look into the sequence, you can see the pattern is: 3x-1=y
(where x is the previous number in the sequence and y is the next number)

3(2)-1= 5
3(5)-1= 14
3(14)-1= 41

and so on... so to find out which number comes next, input 122 for x and find out y:

3(122)-1
366-1
365

So the next number in the sequence is 365
