The numbers represent sequential three-character Roman numerals: 3Â = III
7 = VII
12 = XII
14 = XIV
16 = XVI
19 = XIX
21 = XXI
25 = XXV
30 = XXX
41 = XLI
In finding patterns (other than yours, yours are usually non numeric based) I look at the difference in the numbers. in this case 4,5,2,2,3,3,4,5, so logically the next would be 32. Not what you were looking for I know.
Sorry I had to find another pattern there.
I try that first too, Kevin (even though I know that’s seldom the direction in which Sandy goes), but I’m not quite clear on what the “pattern” is that you’re seeing.
Are you suggesting 4,5,2,2,3,3,4,5,2,2,3,3,4,5,2,2,….?
Of course.. how could I have missed that

KevinGA: 19 plus 3 would be 22. I came up with the same answer you got, but the pattern should be:
4, 5, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 2, 2, 3, 2…
