what is the next number in the pattern( X )

64 I belive.
19 -> 24 = 5
24 -> 31 = 7
31 -> 40 = 9
40 -> 51 = 11
51 -> 64 = 13

I'd say 42.. I mean, it IS the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

come on people, this one has a great deal to do with computer science!
I'll give you a hint, it has to do with number bases.. changing number bases

It's obviously ____ but I don't want to ruin everyone's fun.

It's got to be 64.
16 doesn't work with that, except for 16*4
Hitmen's post makes sense.
