Find the number that comes next in the following sequence: 8,12,18,27,..

[Puggy]

This is a geometric sequence, where r = 3/2.

8, 12, 18, 27,

The next number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 3/2, or 1.5. The next number is 40.5, or 81/2.

I've got several ideas:

Could be 32

2^2 x 2, 2^2 x 3, 3^2 x 2, 3^2 x 3, etc...
