Hint
This question involves the months of the year in some way.
Answer
4 3 1.
Reasoning
This is the sequence of the length of the name of the month, and the number of days in that month.
7 3 1 = January, which has 7 letters, and 31 days.
8 2 8 = February, which has 8 letters, and 28 days.
5 3 1 = March, which has 5 letters, and 31 days.
5 3 0 = April, which has 5 letters, and 30 days.
3 3 1 = May, which has 3 letters, and 31 days.
4 3 0 = June, which has 4 letters, and 30 days.
Which means the next three digits are:
4 3 1 = July, which has 4 letters, and 31 days.
Puzzle 7
Below is a very special grid, around each shaded number are 8 white squares.
However, each white square should have a number from 1 to 7.
Once filled in, these 8 numbers will sum to the shaded number.
In addition, once completed correctly, no row nor column will contain a duplicate number within a white square.
For example, the top row may be 5 6 4 2 3 1 7, etc.
This is a very difficult puzzle, and many people resort to using a computer to help them, which is a challenge in itself.
