Spoiler I got the answer learning from a TV show 1 Percent Club, shown on TV a couple weeks ago. This is the best image I can find to replicate it There's obviously one big triangle. Then from the top point a smaller triangle to around a third of the way down, and then from the same top point another triangle going 2/3rds of the way down. While looking at that, I've just realised that the triangles can be shaped differently inside the larger triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the idea is to draw three separate triangles - they can be inside each other of course, but it should still be 3 distinctive triangles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,662 Posted May 8, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 8, 2022 I kinda tried but not that hard . I think this is only 18 too but because I drew it on my phone I can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're on the right path, just move the 3rd triangle inside to the outside in a similar fashion like the other two, and you'll get 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 1,179 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Took me about 2 minutes to figure it out, if you look at the first group of numbers it = 6 so I basically quickly realised each number had its own value. If you look through the chart there is series of numbers with a value of zero so we know all the 7's for example = 0 then we see all the 9's = 4 so the value of 9 = 1. You can then also see 0 has a value of 1. Based on that I knew that 8's value must be 2 because to make the total 6 on the first line. The last sequence of numbers has a value of 2 because the only number with a value is the number 8 0 = 1 1 = 0 2 = 0 3 = 0 4 = 0 never comes into it the code 5 = 0 6 = 1 7 = 0 8 = 2 9 = 1 I explained that badly I know but I see the solution quickly but explaining it written isn't my strongest point.

You explained it well, but there's actually a much simpler pattern there - just count the "holes" in the shapes of the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,615 Posted February 17, 2023 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2023 My first thought was "No, thanks" as always when I see numbers, but when I read the solution I realised how easy it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
