I have tried several patterns but none of them have worked.

Simple Complex Quadratic Fields:
For any odd prime p compute the sequence of squares k^2 (mod p) with k=0,1,2,3,...,p. For example, with p=19 the squares are; 0,1,4,9,16,6,17,11,7,5,5,7,11,17,6,16,9,4,1,0. Shocked

Therefore, I can say with a degree of certainty that:


1 ==> times 2, plus 1 ==> = 3
3 ==> times 4, minus 1 ==> = 11
11 ==> times 6, plus 1 ==> = 67

And so the next number in the sequence will be

67 ==> times 8, minus 1 ==> = 535 Laughing

Try: That's the same solution proposed at the site I gave a link to.

It's a good candidate, but I don't see the leap of logic that takes you from the sequence of squares to this solution.

Now that's what I call a riddle. After looking at your link, I found another, with a different answer. The sequence of squares belong to a missing file. Strange indeed.

Enjoy Yellowstone National Park., and watch out for road construction delays and closures.

Well, I got more information, and it apparently has powers, and addition in it.
