You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Without any instructions for what kind of sequence this is supposed to be, you can put any number next, and it will be a valid answer.

With only three numbers given, you can always find a POSSIBLE answer by looking at the differences between the terms:
From 12 to 109 is an increase of 97.
From 109 to 210 is an increase of 101.
The amount of increase went up by 4; so MAYBE the next increase is 105, making the next number in the sequence 210+105 = 315.

But that can only be considered as a guess....
