Answer:

0, 3, 8, 15, 24, 35, 48, 63

Explanation:

This is an interesting sequence. It's recursive, it depends on the previous number. It works kind of like this.

Use the first two numbers (0 and 3) and find their difference, which is 3.

Then look at the second and third numbers (3 and 8) and find their difference, which is 5.

5 and 3 are 2 apart, so this sequence keeps going.

8 and 15 are 7 apart.

Then comes 9, 11, 13, and so on...

15 and 24 are 9 apart.

What's the missing number? After adding 9, we have to add 11, so 24+11=35 as the next number.

After that? You know what to do! 11+2=13, add 13! 35+13=48 as the next number.

This sequence goes on forever, it's like a modified Fibonacci sequence.
