If no-one gets it in a day, I'll give another sequence that follows the same rule.
Is it 26?

Sorry, didn't say why:
5 to 10 is 5
10 to 11 is 1
11 to 12 is 1
12 to 14 is 2
14 to 18 is 4

That is the move to the next number seems to reflect the previous number, apart from the zero of 10 because you would never get anywhere with that.

Therefore I added 8 to 18 and got 26.
