Solution in the difference? solution? | Comment 1 of 6
I found the difference between the numbers and found the following pattern:

+4 +2 -2 +2 +4 -2 +0 +2 -4 +2 +2

it looked to me that the negative was inserted on every third number.

every fourth number was a 4.

there were 3 numbers in between the 4s, two of them (the outside ones being 2s)

the middle number (between the 4s) was -2, 0, +2

I'm assuming the middle numbers fluctuate between 2 and 0.

If this is all right, then the next 5 numbers would be 38, 42, 44, 44, 46
