Is There a Hidden Pattern in This Sequence of Numbers?

TL;DR

I have been trying to find a pattern in this sequence of numbers:
72.1, 25.2, 35.1, 58.3, 164.14, 99.8, 23.1, 51.5, 13.2

I have been trying to find a pattern in this sequence of numbers:
72.1, 25.2, 35.1, 58.3, 164.14, 99.8, 23.1, 51.5, 13.2
I have tried every method I can think of like finding the mean, putting them in numerical order, trying to see if the differences between each number has any correlation (It might but I am not sure) and plotting them on a graph. The solution might not be a mathematical one.

So you're saying that if we figure it out, we should not tell the OP and we should submit the solution ourself? Got it, thanks for the tip!

Go ahead! If it gets more attention for the book, then I have done my job.

What job? Are you associated with the book and the website somehow?

No but I love the book and the hunt am trying to keep it alive since it seems to be losing popularity. Granted, I probably should have stated that but it didn't occur to me at the time of writing. I've been posting similar threads on other sites as well to try and spark interest. For some reason I couldn't embed the books link here. Its my first time using the website.

Yeah, that's on purpose to keep down the amount of spam posts by newbies. Well, since the premise for this thread turned out to be false, and since anybody who figures out the problem would probably just submit it to the website instead of posting it here, I'll go ahead and close this thread now.
