I think this puzzle is pretty challenging, but he came up with 2 perfect words regardless!

The intended answers were ''vast'' and ''melody''.

You're very close, the actual answer is E though.

A dot is only carried forward when it appears in the same position in two of the previous three circles.

@lazyKatz

There have been sequence-puzzles where that was the exact way of getting to the answer, so well done! 👍

But this puzzle also has an alternative way of solving it that will get you to a different answer, I wonder if someone can find it. If not, I'll eventually just post it.

@lazyKatz

C is almost right, it's only the top left corner that should be yellow instead of orange.

@cloudySummer

B is the right answer! 👍👌

@cloudySummer

Yes, that one would definitely fit. Well done. 👍

@lazyKatz

That's actually true, so I'll accept the answer!

The intended answer was 4 x 9 = 36. Leaving 6 as the answer. But your answer fits perfectly too. 👍

@Barltik2065 It's news to me that plus would have precedence over minus. In my maths book, they've always been on equal precedence level and would be executed in order of appearance. There are no parentheses here that would break that rule.

@Barltik2065

You were so close!

Addition and subtraction have the same priority. So you just go from left to right and do whichever comes first. That explains the difference in our answers.

Answer =

64 – (12 × 2) + (6 ÷ 3) =

64 - 24 + 2 = 42
