Odd positions:
6, 8, 10, 12 , y→ clearly +2 pattern --> y = 12+2 = 14.
Even positions:
20, 14, 8, x → -6 decreasing pattern --> x = 8-6 = 2.
6, 8, 10, 12 , y→ clearly +2 pattern --> y = 12+2 = 14.
Even positions:
20, 14, 8, x → -6 decreasing pattern --> x = 8-6 = 2.

The solution is;
1. 6 (+2 on 3rd position so 6+2=8)
2. 20 (-6 on 4th position so 20-6=14)
3. 8 (+2 on 5th postion so 8+2=10)
4. 14 (-6 on 6th position so 14-6=8)
5. 10 (...goes on...)
6. 8 (...goes on...)
7. 2
8. 14.
1. 6 (+2 on 3rd position so 6+2=8)
2. 20 (-6 on 4th position so 20-6=14)
3. 8 (+2 on 5th postion so 8+2=10)
4. 14 (-6 on 6th position so 14-6=8)
5. 10 (...goes on...)
