Anybody have any clues, or could point me in the right direction?

Thanxxx :)

the only hint il\'l give you is it apears to be a parabla and if you put thos numbers on a graph it should help a bit ;) i could be wrong about this tho..... or i could be messing with your head or i could be wright... but il\'l let u decide ;)

best pattern I could find was converting them to their relative letter in the alphabet which gives you:

Y,V,O,-,J,N,X

If you slide those around by adding the same number you get a few that may be close to a word or name:

LIB-WAN
SPI-DHU

Mean anything to you?

It can\'t be a simple math series with multiplication of a single number or even an ordered series of numbers that I can see. Or exponential series either. If it was then the number would be even, odd, even odd which it stops doing after the x.

x = 4

as funnymouth said.

First number on the left is reduced by 1 on the right, that number in turn is reduced by 2 in the second number on the left, a.s.o. If that made any sense..

I hope it\'s not that. I looked at that and decided it couldn\'t be right. I hate it when the pattern terminates.

No 4 is correct by the looks. It\'s a simple subtraction but the numbers are just in a slightly strange order.
25-1=24
24-2=22
22-3=19
19-4=15
15-5=10
10-6=4

25,22,15,4,10,19,24

Bloody sharp eyes on some people!
