Mar 9, 2010 at 18:39 comment added Yaakov Baruch @Tony, 1 and 2 by stripping down unnecessary grid points from the known results, and 3 by then trying to extrapolate 1 and 2, overshooting big and stripping down again after (which is what I've been trying towards X4,Y4 without success). The sequence 4,4,4 by the way may be misleading... the 1st set X1 maybe should be regarded as X0={0,A} U X1'={-B+A,B}, which makes the sequence 2,2,4,4 and suggests that X4,Y4 could have 6 or 8 points each, not 4. More far fetched speculation: the sequence 3, 21, 135 looks like 2^2-1, 3*(2^3-1), 9*(2^4-1)...
