For 33, the easiest way to explain is switch the tens and ones places and its just adding 4. Not sure about the last one though...

Add 40 (31->71), subtract 59 (71->12), add 40 twice (12->52->92), subtract 59 again (92->33)

The way I read it was that the first digit is incremented by 4 each time; if it overflows, increment the last digit

it is a sum of products of opposite digits of preceding and following number

43, 54 --> (4*4) + (3*5) = 31

54, 31 --> (5*1) + (4*3) = 17

31, 17 --> (3*7) + (1*1) = 22

...

22, 16 --> (2*6) + (2*1) = 14

I think it's this: given a number XYZ, form the number (X+1)(Y+2)(Z+3) (not multiplying here, literally just putting the numbers in those positions), then reverse the result. E.g.:

142 -> (1+1)&(4+2)&(2+3) = 265, now reverse to get 562.

562 -> 685 -> 586

586 -> 6109 -> 9016.

and so on.

given a number (XY), the next number is X+Y+XY (i'm not multiplying X by Y, its quite literally the number they make together, the og number it gives you. This apparently starts right after the first 59, so it goes as:

59 (5+9=14), so 14 is the starting point.

14 (1+4+14=19), 19 (1+9+19=29), 29 (2+9+29=40), 40 (4+0+40=44), 44 (4+4+44=52), 52 (5+2+52=59), and at the end it goes: 5+9+59=73
