What is the next number in this series?
21, 55, 67, 92, ______.
This is on the order of "You know it or you don't". It is, however, not 93.

Is the date a clue? I have gone down several paths on this, and want to know if I should eliminate that angle.

125 it is.
opus numbers of the odd-numbered Beethoven symphonies, which are the ones thought of as big, world-changing and philosophical: Heroism, fate, dance, joy. The even-numbered ones are merely great music.
