You can't solve it....

You could put any three numbers you want next and it would be a valid sequence.

If a problem like this is given as you show it -- as just a sequence of numbers without any context to give us a clue as to how the sequence is formed -- then the problem is worth trying to solve only if there is a clear pattern in the sequence.

Without any clear pattern (and I don't see a pattern in these numbers!) it is a complete waste of time to try to find the answer, because any pattern you see that lets you predict the next three numbers might not be the "right" pattern.
