No, I can't guess. Don't feel like thinking that hard. What is the next number and how does the sequence work?

Don, How do you know 6 / 7 is the answer ? Why is there a slash between the 6 and the 7 ?

Well, duh. THAT makes sense. The question should have said "CODE" instead of sequence... not that I would have figured it out right away, but this isn't a sequence; it's a code.
THANK YOU, ARSHADCHEM.

14, 15, 11, 9

14 +1, -4, -2 Don't see a patter there. I could repeat it (+14,+15 +1, -4, -2)

14 is 2 x 7 15 is 3 x 5 11 is 11 x 1 (prime) 9 is 3 x 3 Don't see a pattern there.

14 + 15 = 29 + 11 = 40 + 9 = 49 If I keep adding 11, then 9, I will have a pattern of sorts:
29 40 49 60 69 80 89 100 109
It doesn't explain why you'd start with 14 and 15 though.

So, NO, I don't have a good guess what comes next.

The question hasnt been asked in the right context, I can normally work these out but you can't there is not enough information in the question there would be another number afterward or inront.

It really doesn't have anything going for it, as far as I can see, and I really did try.
