pinki Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 @WuDu @Argevolen why? You must determine 10 and 43 in the same way and then ? is pretty obvious :)First vertical row also is quite easy to expand up and down :)edit:1. with another numbers in vertifcal you have also 3 solution: 15-5=10, 40-(-3) = 43 and finally" 25-(-8)=332. this is many ways to expand vertical row: but sum of outside numbers is clean :)3. second vertical row [1x3 matrix] is result from: [first row matrix] x 5 so it were 3 possible solutions for this :D Quite a lot !!

FeelsBadMan Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 You guys are missing the simplest and most obvious solution. If you do:10 (top right corner) + 5 (bottom left corner) = 15 (top center)15 (top center) + 25 (bottom center) = 40 (mid center)if you follow the very obvious rule from the previous 2 clear mathematical certainties you get:40 (mid center) + 8 (mid left) = 48 (bottom right) which gives 48 as the definitive answer for the puzzle with the 43 in it 🆒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR1ZZL3R Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Sorry @pinki but I have to agree, any puzzle like this that can come up with multiple answers for multiple reasons is not a very elegant puzzle.REPORT CARD: Must try harder.

All the other answers have flaws in them, either missing some numbers in the solution or randomly adding or subtracting numbers in different orders. Your answer is what I see as the only acceptable solution but by a totally needless and somewhat random process when there is a perfectly simple method. I know it's hard coming up with good and fair puzzles so I'll upgrade you as this is your first attempt here.REPORT CARD: No better than a C. :teardrop: "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

I know it's hard coming up with good and fair puzzles so I'll upgrade you as this is your first attempt here. @GR1ZZL3R you cannot use this solution. The method of determining 10 and 43 is important here. At first glance, it makes sense: top + bottom = middle. but the most important question should be: why 43? why 10? and with a bit of desire after a few actions, the scheme is easy to learn. I remember when I took part in the mathematics olympiad when I was 15 years old. This task was similar there but with less data and more complicated. Based on a geometric string and several other theorems and you had to do the left-right and top-bottom array extension. With the results, a member of the commission noticed that only 4 out of 100 people expanded the original matrix. Here, too, I wanted to do something similar :D It's all about perceptiveness. If you can't see something, it doesn't mean it's not there ::Cool: That's why I wrote that the original task was simple. :Happyshy:My first calcluations was with : A2-B1+A1. bute later i noticed that was there another two. So 3 solutions is fair enough in my opinion. "Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR1ZZL3R Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Fair enough @pinki I totally agree there are sometimes more ways to come up with the same answer. I do like maths and have always been fascinated by all types of puzzles so this thread, although as @Rushbie says is a massive derailment, could probably be kept going. 1 1 02 2 03 6 ?4 24 20 I'm off till this evening so I'll leave it with you. 😃 1 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."
