I'm referring to one particular club.

The House of the Four Winds features Juventus, a group wanting to overthrow the government.I'm referring to one particular club.

1.6 is correct for the third term, I'll be surprised if your method provides the other two.That looks like it is the values of a quadratic, however I can't find one that fits beyond two points (x^2+11/12). I'm going to make an educated guess at point 3 being 1.6, for which working can be provided if needed, and could use the same method to get the others if that turns out to be correct.
Close but no cigar.1.6, 3.2, 6.4
Yes 3.2 is almost correct and 3.188 is even nearer but I think you need to approach this differently.I'm not sure whether you've worked out my method, but I think 3.2 is almost correct, I'm getting awrt 3.188 (2dp) - no clue for the last one though, it appears to reverse direction (start going up rather down)
I can get closer - 51/16 - but that is, if correct, hard to carry on to the 9th term - the quadratic passes through more points, but that is the problem!
It's not second differences either, that produces 3rd term = 19/12, and an alternative difference calculation will produce fifth term = 3.05.
Geometric series, however, seems to produce something workable, given the constant common ratio between all of the pairs you've given (using a=1, r=1.25), but it doesn't work across the gaps.
If you instead try a=0.790569415 and assume you missed the first term (ie that a is the 0th term, it just makes the maths easier), then this gets you r=1.260055656 with a regression value of 0.9999843013 (almost correct).
Using an alternative regression model of a*(x^b) you get a regression of close to 0.952 - even further out.
I would guess 1.5, 3 and 6 then (seems good numbers for sizes of Allen keys or something)
Are we in the land of metric bolts?
But the third term is 1.6 in either solution?No it's not metric bolts.
I need to make a correction to my earlier posts. There are two possible answers to this and in one the 6th term is 3.20 however the 9th is not 6.40 in either.

I'm assuming it is the size range of some sort of equipment. Maybe knitting needles?Yes it is. To clarify: the two series are ...
1.00, 1.25, 1.60, 2.00, 2.50, ?, 4.00, 5.00, ?, 8.00
1.00, 1.25, 1.60, 2.00, 2.50, 3.20, 4.00, 5.00, ?, 8.00

So I'll take a punt that the missing number in the bottom series is 6.00.
There was a lot more to the Polish contribution than that. The Poles under the leadership of Rejewski broke the first version of the Enigma machine using their "Bomby" which was the intellectual ancestor of the Bletchley Park "Bombe" even though the "Bombe" was much more advanced. In one of the key moments of the war (before it even started) in July and August 1939 the Poles handed over a copied version of the Enigma, the design of the Bomby and the "Zygalski sheets" which also formed a key part of their methods of decryption. This got Turing and Bletchley Park off to a flying start.
In which case 3.0 and 7.0?
Now you know another one.I only know 3 Amp and 13 Amp, so I give up!
I thought the picture was a giveaway, apparently I was wrong.That's a fuse - I thought fused items were meant to have the fuse value written on them but I can't find one on the plug in the electrical socket closest to me and can't really unplug anything else in the room!
It looks like a 315mA fuse to me - odd amount though it implies that the alternative 6th term is 3.15, working in 100s of mA of fuse rating?I thought the picture was a giveaway, apparently I was wrong.

Haven't a clue - will leave it to someone else if it isn't 7.50.
