I figured it out. Do I get bonus points?

For any random number x in the first box, the second and third boxes will be x+x and x+x+x. Note that it is not x; x^2; x^3 due to the fact that 1; 1; 1 will not work, but 1; 2; 3 will.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but if you guess a few times then type your answer, the website will tell you the rule. The rule is, the numbers must get larger. Not by any set amount, just larger. 1, 2, 3 will work, but so will 1, 20, 300.
