can anyone solve this puzzler?

2,4,6,30,32,34,36,40,42,44,46,50,52,54,56,60,62,64,66 the next number in the sequence is 2000, why?

i'm sure lots of you will be able to provide the answer but i know someone who took seven months to figure it out

Only took my seven seconds for this one! Random brainwave!

I'll spoiler-box it so I don't ruin it for everyone else:

Got it...

Haha! About the same time it took me to Google it...

1, 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 32, 36, 49, 64, 72, 81, 100, 108, 121, 125, 128, 144, 169, 196, 200, 216, 225, 243, 256, 288, 289, 324, 343, 361, 392, 400, 432, 441, 484, 500, 512, 529, 576, 625, 648, 675, 676, 729, 784, 800, 841, 864, 900, 961, 968, 972, what is the next number?

I managed to work out that 1000 must be in the list with no assistance at all, although I couldn't determine whether it was the next number without a little help from that powerful internet thing.

No Google used, Tom - it was another of them team exercises I did on that course back in January (the football club name cryptic clues thing being another of them)

google hadn't been invented when i finally got round to figuring it out, so maybe i'm smarter than you tom22 and i didn't spend the entire 7 months trying to work it out but admittedly it was still a bl**dy long time for something that turned out to be so obvious

Haha I'm first to say I'm as smart as two short planks (fairly obvious from most of my posts...). I didnt even really try and work it out, I can never do these sort of puzzles... bung some equations in and I stand slightly more of a chance but I'm starting to think going to uni destroyed every maths brain cell I had.

just give me seven months and i'll let you know

........and a belated well done to Big-Davey for getting it so quickly.

no i cant
