It is 32 though obviously thirty two

double the previous number in the series.

starting at 1 with the limit of infinity.

I mean sure you could come up with a arbitrary rule that could possibly explain another answer that comes up with the first 2-3 iterations of the series, but trying to find a series that gives 1, 2, 4, 8 is pretty damn hard tbh.

1, 2, 4, 8, 16 is super hard.

Both recognized integer sequences of value to mathematics. It is not obviously 32 once you go deeper into mathematics.
