If
2*3 = 6
2*4 = 8
would not the next be
2*5 = 10?
then
2*6 = 12

3 6 4 8 6 12 10
2*3=6, 2*4=8, 2*6=12, 2*10=20 answer
 
Alternate:     an = 2*an-1          for even values of n
                    an = an-1 - 2        for odd values of n

Alternate the formulas:
 
        an = 2*an-1            for odd values of n
        an = an-1 - 2          for even values of n

With respect, would not both define both depending on the value of an-1?
