next two numbers in 1, 3, 8, 24, 29, 87, 92,...

Help1 I cant figure out the next two numbers in this sequence...1, 3, 8, 24, 29, 87, 92,

1 x 3 = 3, 3+5 = 8, 8x3 = 24, 24+5 = 29, 29 x3 = 87...

oh my goodness! thank you sooooo much. I thought i was going to explode from frustration. ps only one. dead people are no help.

The first thing I usually try is building an upside down pyrimid of the differences between each number, and then the differences between each number that was the initial difference between the two previous numbers... and then I can see if the next number would be derived from addition, subtraction, multiplication or division by a constant.

I tried that at first but todays migraine won and i decided to bring in the reinforcements. Thanks again.
