    Sorry for my incorrect jumping to conclusions.
    Odds start at +9 and decrease by 1, evens are increased by number*4 (starting at one)

    5, 7,
    5 + 9 = 14
    7+(1*4) = 11
    14 + 8 = 22
    11 + (4*4) = 27
    22 + 7 = 29
    27 + (16*4) = 107
    29 + 6 = 35
    107 + (64*4) = 363

    Is my final solution

    Wow...nice! Extremely far-fetched though...we'll see what the teacher says.

    while his pattern works for the numbers, i don't think there are enough values to be conclusive with that. You have just taken the second difference of every second element... so you are effectively working with 2 numbers to come up with a pattern

    as such: the eigth number could just as easily be 27 + 36, being t6 + 6^2

    at that point it becomes a guessing game.
