Question 836844
I have tried for a long time to figure out, what the following numbers are:

2   5   19   x   y

Anyone who can give me a hint?
---------------------------
As with a lot of these problems, more than 1 answer is possible.

1 possibility:
The 1st difference (5-2) = 3
The 2nd is 14, an increase of 11.
--> 3rd difference = 14 + 11 = 25, etc
--> 2  5  19  44  80
======================
Another is:
5 = 3*2 - 1
19 = 5*4 - 1
--> x = 19*6 - 1 = 113
--> y = 113*8 - 1 = 903
==============================
These problems are useless, and a waste of time.
