10,6,13,1,13,10,10,1,19,?,?,?
Answer
15,14,4The numbers are the ordinal positions (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) of the letters of the alphabet
corresponding with the first letter of the name of each month of the year, in sequence.
So:
10=J(anuary), since J is the 10th letter of the alphabet,
6=F(ebruary),
13=M(arch),
1=A(pril),
13=M(ay),
10=J(une),
10=J(uly),
1=A(ugust), and
19=S(eptember).
Therefore, the three numbers that come next are:
15=O(ctober), since O is the 15th letter of the alphabet,
14=N(ovember), and
4=D(ecember).
