Please find the next three numbers in the sequence

Question

The sequence is ...
3 , 4 , 7 , 11 , 18 , 27 , __ , __ , __.

please look at the sequence carefully, and I would also appreciate if you could also give me the rule of how you found it.

Answer 1

Look again at the question. What is the number after 18?  Are you sure it is 27? If it is 29 and not 27, then add the previous two numbers to find the next term.  

 

That is, first term plus second term = third term (3+4=7)

then, second term plus third term = fourth term (4+7=11)

then, third term plus fourth term = fifth term (7+11=18)

 

and so on.....  The key to solving sequences is pattern recognition.
