well, one choice is 62, if the nth term is
1/2 (2n^3 - 15n^2 + 19n + 154)
If you're looking for something simpler, I suspect a typo.
What is the next number in the pattern?
80, 74, 63, 53....

Using the given values, and assuming we can represent it as a cubic, I got
term(n) = (2n^3 - 17n^2 + 25n + 150)/2
and term(5) = 50
Using obblecks expression I get
term(3) = 65 , not 63
term(4) = 59 , not 53
I suspect a transcribe error.
