Recently I took an aptitude test covering many topics. These three questions were in the "math" section. After cussing for about 30 minutes and screaming that these problems were impossible and made no sense ~X( , I started to get the results, finishing the three questions and getting the answers right. So I'm posting these for my math-geek friends.
Windsor has already answered these on Facebook! Congrats to her for getting them all right in only ~15 minutes!

3) 2, 7, 26, 101, 400, ?

I worked out all but the last one fairly quickly but haven't had time to parse the last one.

I was always good in math.
