Can you figure out my rule?

[EnderNicky]

I have three numbers: 2, 4, and 8.
These three numbers follow a specific rule.
They may follow more than one rule, but there is one specific rule I have in mind.
You must guess this rule.
If you give me a set of three numbers, I can address whether those apply to my rule.
Now ready, set, and go!

(Please don't spoil this if you already know the answer.)
(If you could put your answer in a spoiler tab, then that will help with keeping the fun to go on with others.)

illuminati confirmed.

 

[Killmatronix]

1, 2, 4

OR

1, 3, 7

 

[EnderNicky]

1, 2, 4

OR

1, 3, 7

Both of those fit my rule.

I think you just copied and pasted the pi thing from some website.

 

[gombar123]

so...... I don't know like 5 numbers in pi 3.14

 

[Ajroets]

3.141592653 That's all I know for pi. If it is pi, then we can paste any random three numbers in any order and Ender's rule would work.

Cheaters prosper.

Both of those fit my rule, although I don't understand why you simply copied them from Kill. . . You're supposed to guess the rule, not the numbers. . .

Good enough.

+(+0.5 x 4) + (2 x 1) + ( 3.79 + 0.21)

 

[Killmatronix]

First one doubles. 1 plus 1 is 2. so then the second number doubles (or whatever, don't want to say it's * here cuz english) so 2 plus 2 is 4. That's the rule for the first number i believe.
Second one just first adds the number 2 and then the number 4. so 1 plus 2 is 3 and then again for 3 plus 4 is 7.

That is not my rule.

The rule is one thing[/i] that will fit all number sets I say work.
Also, neither of those are my rule.

3, 6, 12 / 4, 8, 16?

We can also make this an 2^x, and we will get an binary.
