First interpretation: the 17th number in the sequence is 3. Without any other information, I can't determine anything about any other number in the sequence.

Second interpretation: a number in the sequence is 17 and the next is 3. This could be a geometric sequence with ratio 3/17 or arithmetic sequence with common difference -14. However, we don't know where the numbers are in the sequence.
