There are TWO patterns, one for the odd numbered terms and
another for the even-numbered terms:

The red numbers follow the pattern of subtracting 6 each time
and the green numbers follow the pattern by adding 7 each time.
You can get the answer from this information.

Again there are TWO patterns, one for the odd numbered terms and
another for the even-numbered terms:

41 25 39 27 36 30 32

The red numbers follow the pattern of subtracting 2, then subtracting
3, then subtracting 4, and so on.
The green numbers follow the pattern by adding 2, then adding 3,
then adding 4, and so on.
You can also get that answer from this information.
