Leonardo Fibonacci

This sequence of numbers is known as the 'Fibonacci Sequence', named after the famous Italian mathematician. What are the next three numbers in this sequence?

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...

Solution:

If we follow this sequence 0+1=1, 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, 5+8=13 then the next three numbers in the sequence are 8+13=21, 13+21=34, 21+34=55. Well done to everyone who solved this brainteaser!
