Answer:
..., 1, 8, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the sequence of clock face numbers that starts 2, 9, 4, 11, 6, ....
<h3>Clock face sequence</h3>The numbers in the given sequence are each 7 hours after the one before. 7 hours after a given hour is the same as 5 hours before on a 12-hour clock.
Continuing the sequence by adding 7 or -5 to the previous value to keep within the range [1, 12], we get ...
2, 9, 4, 11, 6, 1, 8, 3, 10, 5, 12, 7, 2 (and repeats from here)
The next three numbers in the sequence are 1, 8, 3.
