3 452 526 613 163 807 108 170 062 053 440 751 665 152

solve for the next 3 numbers.

im not 100% sure the solution is unique.

hint:
<font color="white"> the rest of the numbers are 3 digits long </font>

super hint:
<font color="white"> there are only 3 more numbers and no numbers previous to the start of the puzzle </font>

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better.
Jason will probably solve this in less than 5 minutes though!

Well, unless this is really something else, this looks like a mistyped 41! (41 factorial), which is:

33 452 526 613 163 807 108 170 062 053 440 751 665 152 000 000 000

So, either you misstyped it and the answer is "000," or I haven't got a clue.

I figured this out while driving to my office at school to study for the evening. I wrote it down on a napkin as I was leaving the house and the disaster that is Los Angeles traffic afforded me the time in the car to solve it.

There is an error in your puzzle. Preceed the first number by 3. With that adjustment we have

answer: <font color="white">000 000 000</font>.

The key was the block of numbers

062

and

053

in the sequence. These made me recognize what was going on with the whole sequence. It is, in fact, not meant to be viewed as a sequence but as one integer.

Damn. I was just about convinced it was the number of sexual positions in the Kama Sutra.
