Hi Master7731!

Hint: what's 81 squared ?

i understand the 3,9,81, as it increase by the square of the previous number part but then it goes does to 65 which i dun understand at all

Is the problem copied down correctly? Are you sure there is a comma between 65 and 61? If so, does it give you any numbers after 37?
