0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0.6; 1.1; 2.0
The question is - what is the pattern?
Thanks, Jo (mum trying to look intelligent to daughter)

The pattern is that the following number is the sum of the previous three numbers, i.e. .2 + .3 + .6 = 1.1 and .3 + .6 + 1.1 = 2.0. Logically, the next number in the sequence would be 3.7 (.6+1.1+2.0). The first three terms just start the sequence.

The differences are as follows:
0.1,0.1,0.3,0.5,0.9
This appears to be a triple Fibbonacci sequence in which each difference is equal to the sum of the previous 3, so
0.3+0.5+0.9 = 1.7
2.0+1.7 = 3.7 should be the next number (after that 6.8)

add first three numbers for fourth number-
add second and third to fourth to get fifth-
add third and fourth to fifth to get sixth-
add third and fourth and fifth to sixth to get seventh
add fifth and sixth to seventh to get eighth-
add sixth and seventh to eighth to get nineth
add sixth and seventh and eighth to nineth to get tenth
