Next number in the series...

Hi,

Following is the series:--

3, 76, 49, 24, 59,...


Can anybody help in finding the next number in the series ? and with the logic used ?

19, these are roots of the

(x-3)(x-76)(x-49)(x-24)(x-59)(x-19)=0

polynomial.

More seriously: what have you tried?
 
168, from difference tables?

Anything is possible.
Where did you find that series of numbers ?

This is a trick question that has not been asked correctly.
There was an error in the original title which should have been;
"Series 3, 76, 49, 24, 59, 36, ... ?"

Sincere apologies. I am not very comfortable with numbers so pardon my knowledge in this subject. I checked the link, but couldn't understand how 36 came after 59.

Numbers are fascinating, keep trying.

When you read the original title it gives “3, 76, 49, 24, 59, 36
When you read the question it asks what number follows 3, 76, 49, 24, 59
The title contains the answer = 36.
 
In other words: it has nothing to do with numbers and their properties, any list of symbols would do.
