Saw the pattern (x3+2) straight away. Didn't even get as far as the teaser, I was still looking at the title!
ahh good one. the pattern was fairly easy to find..... but those numbers get jumbled in your head
I was doing the 3xs more each as well. It seems whenever there is more than one answer to a teaser folks get pretty testy about it. I didn't mind seeing it in a different way.
I was doing the same pattern jimbo was doing which was plus 4, plus 12, plus 36, etc.
