Every other number is 3 times the number before it.
The other numbers are 2 less than the number before it.
so, first one is highlight%282%29
to get second one multiply first one by 3=> 2%2A3=highlight%286%29
to get third one subtract 2 from second DISABLED_event_one= > 6-2=highlight%284%29
:

:
28 next one will be 3%2A28=highlight%2884%29
next one will be 84-2=highlight%2882%29
next one will be 3%2A82=highlight%28246%29
