Maybe you should try a puzzle based on wordplay. I think that would be very interesting.

Taf, I was afraid of that

Crysty, as far as I can tell, the pattern is n^2 + 1, which would make borschevsky correct. What did you think the pattern was?

The sum of the first n prime numbers. I somohow missed the 9 & the 15 in there (but at least 225 WAS a typo... I'm not the only one who can't think!)
