I also got this on the first try.  I kept going to confirm my theory, 
but I thought the hint in the name was obvious.  I frequently have 
problems with puzzles that give three numbers and want the next in the 
sequence, because I can often see multiple different sequences that 
would start with the same four numbers.  I also have problems with a 
set of four words and choosing which one doesn't belong.  Often there 
are different groups of the three that exclude a different fourth.  The 
devisors of these puzzles usually have one obvious answer in mind, but 
there are often others they didn't consider.
