in the sequence
4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 19, 25,
Start with 4.  
Add 1 to 4, get 5.
Add 2 to 5, get 7.
Add 3 to 7, get 10.
Add 4 to 10, get 14.
Add 5 to 14, get 19.
Add 6 to 19, get 25.
Add 7 to 25, get 32.
Add 8 to 32, get 40.
Add 9 to 40, get 49.
Add 10 to 49, get 59.   <-- 53 is not part of the sequence.
Add 11 to 59, get 70.
Add 12 to 70, get 82.
Add 13 to 82, get 95.   <-- 92 is not part of the sequence.
Add 14 to 95, get 109.  <-- 99 is not part of the sequence.

How can 53, 92, 99
be part of the sequence
They can't be!
