Let's start with a logic puzzle! Which square fits in the last grid?
How many triangles can you find in the image below? 🔻
We get it to 14
Severe recount
Maybe it's 21
@lazyKatz
You got very close to the answer! You can check in the image below which you missed.
@DarkWolf
Close but no carrot.......Well done Barltik 😺
@DarkWolf
We think one is Moss, two is Mews, three is area, four is damp, five is else, and six is idol.
@DarkWolf
Maybe a native speaker can use some of my guesses (I think top left one is good, bottom right seems half wrong):
@cloudySummer
@cloudySummer
OH extremely close.
Icon is a great choice. There is a better one which would help with #5
@DarkWolf
1. MOSS
2. MEWS
3. AREA
4. DAMP
5. ELSE
6. IDOL
@DarkWolf
Really not convinced but we'll try E
@DarkWolf I'd choose B, but besides the clockwise/anticlockwise alternation of the order of numbers that remain... I'm not sure why exactly.
@cloudySummer
B is correct. 💡
It's because the smallest number is discarded at each stage and the remaining numbers travel in the opposite direction to the previous stage.
@DarkWolf Heh, that was exactly what I meant (didn't mention the dropping of the smallest number, but had noticed it).
Yay! :D
@DarkWolf
A slightly more difficult version of the one I posted before 😇
@DarkWolf I'm on a roll... sleigh ride
@DarkWolf Most likely, my solution is too complex, and thus wrong. It is at least kind of logical. Starting from each number in the top most line, and going anticlockwise on the outer ring, and skipping two fields, it is counting upwards (e.g. all four corners - 6,7,8,9, and then from 4 to 5,6,7 and from 5 to 6,7,8.
If I do this analogously for the inner square, which is smaller, hence the steps would be smaller, I could get 11 (left) and 9 (right) for the two question marks. I don't think it's correct, though :)
@cloudySummer
There is some logic to your conclusion
@DarkWolf
@Barltik2065
Left is 3 right is 5
@DarkWolf
Husband thinks it is 9 on the second row and 13 on the third row.
@lazyKatz @Barltik2065 @cloudySummer
People got so close to the answer. Cloudy had the 9 and 11 switched around, and in Barltik's picture you can almost see the pattern emerging. But it was a difficult one where there's many ways to try and find an answer.
@DarkWolf Oh, a spiral! 🌀 That was definitely outside the box :D
