There's only two patterns left to discover, the occurrence of the yellows (the yellows mean take away) and the numerator. This approach uses fractions and ordinal numbers 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and so on. The one on the left loops and the one on the right zigzags. The one on the right is our focus, the one on the left may help though so I left it in as well as the instructions on how to do this on excel.
(2 - (1/2=0.5)) = 1.5*2nd=3
(1.5 + (1/6=0.16...)) = 1.6...*3rd=5
And so on
Honestly I think this is achievable, I mean I don't know nearly as much maths as a professor and I managed to find this after hearing about how Prime numbers don't like to repeat their last digit.
2/2=1, 6/3=2, 12/4=3, 20/5=4 And so on
