Post subject:  An Experiment
This sequence of numbers adheres to a secret rule:

Code:
2-4-6


Your goal is to determine what that rule is. You can do this by giving me your own sequence of three numbers in spoiler tags, and I will tell you whether or not your sequence obeys the secret rule. You may do this as many times as you'd like. When you are confident that you know the rule, announce your guess (again in spoiler tags, please).

Edit: And in case it wasn't obvious, it's important that you not read anyone else's submissions until you've made your guess at the rule.

Order is important. Should I interpret these numbers as being appended to the existing series? If so, yes and yes.

Thats the point Shuyung. We're supposed to expand the data set until we get the rule
