much more logics than maths ;) the harder math there is on the level of 100-10. If this is too hard for you then you should really focus on something else than gaming... ;p

That's really condescending, especially considering the time limit and time penalty for wrong answers.

yes, this puzzle is hard (good thing I already have INSIDE), but it is not mathemathically hard. It is hard on logic level, not on mathemathical level ;p All mathemathicvally there is is subtraction on the level of start of elementary school and multiplication by 2. What is hard is actual logical reasoning ;)

It's not hard per se, but it contains confusing directions (Q3), so you can't call it fully logical.

I'm trying to fill in 4 and 6, and they don't work, even though we're told what they are. It's well over anyway, so...

The direction to add 5 to all final answers is confusing as well, since we didn't need to do that for Q4.

No idea for question 3. Tried all options that seemed logical. And some unlogical, because time was running.

as you answer that puzzle there are more directions, the sequence matters

6 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Well now its too late, so debating the solution shouldn't do any harm.
"The answer is 150" "Subtract 20" "Add 5" "No answer has a 3 in it".
150-20+5=135. I tried 135, 105, 15, 155, 150 and some other stuff.

the rules only matter up until the point of that question. when a new one shows, you then apply that going forward, in sequence.
