Hello People…

Im trying to pull out some items in a list, but I think the next thing getting pulled is my hair :slight_smile:
I just cant figure out how to get every 3 item of this list

The list:


{"613.71", "115", "7", "349.99", "94", "14", "550.56", "87", "15", "1.69", "76", "31", "103.3", "75", "2", "676.25", "70", "7"}

And what I need is this…


{"7", "14", "15", "31", "2", "7"}

any help would be great…
