What is the next number?.

7, 16, 25, 34, 43, 52, 61, 70, 77, 106...?

Wow, that makes no sense. It starts of as a nice, clean arithmetic sequence. And at the end it goes on doing strange things...

I guess I need to think some more about it...


Does the next number end with a 5?

Bah. Saw it right away.

There are a few possible answers, but best answer is 115.
 
I think I get it. Is it adding 7 to the number in octal representation, so that the next number would be 115?

Yep. Sorry if it was too easy! =P
