In each blank below a single digit is inserted such that the following six three-digit numbers, in this order, form an arithmetic sequence:
1__,__9,2_2,_6_,2__,_3_
What is the value of the next number in the sequence?

The last digit of the common difference is 3

A little trial and error produces......

 

232 + 33 =  265

265 + 33 =  298

298 + 33 =  331

 

232 - 33 = 199

199 - 33 =  166

 

So...the next number is

 

331 + 33 =

 

364
