6 + 2 = 8.
8 + 2 = 10.
10 + 2 = 12.
12 + 2 = 14.
Another pair
20 - 6 = 14.
14 - 6 = 8.
8 - 6 = 2.
8 + 2 = 10.
10 + 2 = 12.
12 + 2 = 14.
Another pair
20 - 6 = 14.
14 - 6 = 8.
8 - 6 = 2.

6 20 8 14 10 8 12 2 14.
1) 20-6 = 14.
14-6 = 8.
8-6 = 2.
2) 6+2 = 8.
8+2 = 10.
10+2 = 12.
12+2 = 14.
1) 20-6 = 14.
14-6 = 8.
8-6 = 2.
2) 6+2 = 8.
8+2 = 10.
10+2 = 12.
12+2 = 14.

6+2 = 8.
8+2 = 10,
10+2 = 12,
12+2 = 14.
20-6 = 14,
14-6 = 8,
8-6 = 2.
So, the Answer is 2 14.
6+2 = 8.
8+2 = 10,
10+2 = 12,
12+2 = 14.
20-6 = 14,
14-6 = 8,
8-6 = 2.

First select the alternate numbers.
6, 8, 10, 12, =14 (add plus 1).
20, 14, 8, =2 (sub 6 from each number).
6, 8, 10, 12, =14 (add plus 1).
20, 14, 8, =2 (sub 6 from each number).

The logic is;
6, 8, 10, 12, 14. Is in even positions. Add +2.
20, 14, 8, 2. Is in odd positions. So, Sub-6.
6, 8, 10, 12, 14. Is in even positions. Add +2.
20, 14, 8, 2. Is in odd positions. So, Sub-6.

6+2 = 8.
8+2 = 10.
10+2 = 12.
12+2 = 14 [14].
And 20-6 = 14.
14-6 = 8.
8-6 = 2 [2] ans:- 2 14.
8+2 = 10.
10+2 = 12.
12+2 = 14 [14].
And 20-6 = 14.
14-6 = 8.
8-6 = 2 [2] ans:- 2 14.

6 20 8 14 10 8 12.
6 + 2 = 8.
8 + 2 = 10.
10 + 2 = 12.
20 - 6 = 14.
14 - 6 = 8,
So, that 8 - 6 = 2.
6 + 2 = 8.
8 + 2 = 10.
10 + 2 = 12.
20 - 6 = 14.
14 - 6 = 8,
So, that 8 - 6 = 2.
