This sequence isn't very hard to figure out. What are the next numbers in the following sequence?

42,39,36,30,16,6,3,1,-6,?,?,?

Dustin,

I must confess that I have a preference by math and logic problems, and you already know that I'm new here.

However, even in "sequences" problems there is a "personal logic" (by "personal logic" I mean the logic "created" by who proposed the problem).

Comparing your problem with others similars, I figured out three things :

1) You named your problem "e^x", but classified it in "general", not in "sequences". Why ?

2) Anyone who presents a "sequence problem", starts directly saying : "What is the next number in ....?". But you started with "This sequence isn't...". Why ?

3) Based in 1) above, I will assume that that "e" in the title had nothing with the neperian base. Is this correct ? 

Am I wondering ?
