According to Wittgenstein's Finite Rule Paradox every finite sequence of numbers can be a described in infinitely many ways and so can be continued any of these ways - some simple, some complicated but all equally valid. Conversely, it is possible to find a rule such that any number of your choice can be the next one.

One possible rule, based on a polynomial of order 5, is

Un = (-12*n5 + 205*n4 - 1290*n3 + 3695*n2 - 4638 + 2160)/120 for n = 1, 2, 3, ... and according to that rule, the next three numbers are -10, -104 and -369.

What are the next three numbers 1 4 9 16?

The pattern of these numbers is the square numbers. Therefore, following 42 = 16 comes 52 = 25, 62 = 36, 72 = 49.


What are the next three numbers in the pattern of 2071 2141 2211?

What numbers would you like to be the next three? It is possible to find a polynomial of order 5 that will fit these three numbers and ANY other three numbers. For example, using the positin to value rule given by Un= -112.275n5 + 1,966.25n4 - 12,744.625n3 + 37,416.25n2 - 48,979.6 + 36,525 I can fit the numbers 1, 2 and 3 as the next three. So there are infinitely many possible answers to the question. Using the simplest rule, although the question does not require that, gives Un = 70n + 2001 and that requires the next three numbers to be 2281, 2351, 2421.


What are the next three numbers in the pattern 1 2 4 8 1 6 3 2 6 4?

Those are the powers of 2, separated by digits. In other words, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... where each number is twice the previous one ... so the next three numbers are 1 2 8.


What is the next three numbers in this pattern 1-2-3-5-7-11-13-17-19-23?

The next three are 29, 31, 37.Though technically 1 should not be the first one in the list as it is not a prime number.
