So the order REALLY matters!
I did a used an unlikely guess of a pattern and got it correct. (It took me one try magically)
My first pattern I devised was that 36= 4 times 9, 9 = 9 times 1, 27 = 9 times 3 so the next one would be 9 times 2 =18. To add on its stability, I saw that 2 alternating terms (in regards with 9 times x[referring to x]) differ by 2. So 3 6 − ( 9 ∗ 2 0 ) = 1 8
