Dragging down on "1, 2, 4, 8" in Excel 2007 gives me "9.5, 11.8, 14.1, 16.4, 18.7".... but maybe newer versions have gotten better.

  Out of curiosity, I just tried the same thing on Excel for Mac 2011, and got the same results.

    Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I seem to remember Excel doing some intuitive series extensions and both LibreOffice and OpenOffice not doing things that I would have found as intuitive. They're probably not unreasonable fall-back strategies if something isn't strictly linear, but just because I understand why the programmer might have done that doesn't mean it makes sense in general.

    Excel 2010 for Windows also produced the same results.
