Find the pattern of the following sequence and determine the next few terms:

2, 10, 12, 38, 42, 52, 56, 142, 150, 170

DJ, could you explain further please, I understood Charlie and Larry, but not the official solution.

You said: For example, 52 in binary is 110100, which inveretd (ones complement) yields 001011, which is the reverse of the original value

My question: 001011 is indeed the reverse of 110100, but for example 51 in binary would be 110011 and the reverse is 001100.  Should 51 be in the original sequence?

I am clearly missing something, please help.
