3 - 11 = 8,
11 - 22 = 11,
22 - 36 = 14,
36 - 53 = 17,
So next number will be '53'.
11 - 22 = 11,
22 - 36 = 14,
36 - 53 = 17,
So next number will be '53'.

38-3 = 35.
35-2 = 33.
33-2 = 31.
31-3 = 28
28-2 = 26.
26-2 = 24.
40-2 = 38.
38-3 = 35.
35-2 = 33.
33-2 = 31.
31-3 = 28

(42+38)/2 = 40.
(35+31)/2 = 33.
(28+22)/2 = 25.
So 25, 22 might also be the answer.
(35+31)/2 = 33.
(28+22)/2 = 25.
So 25, 22 might also be the answer.
