document.write( "first differences:  10  14  32   56   78

\n" );
document.write( "4th differences:          -8   -8   \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "So the next 3rd diff is    -2-8 = -10

document.write( "The next 2nd diff is      22-10 = 12

document.write( "The next first difference 78+12 = 90
\n" );
document.write( "The next number in sequence is  190 + 90 = 280 \n" );
