the answer is 3 because the sum of the other groups of numbers is 20
The sum of the numbers in the first group is 22.
8. Basically the sum of the external numbers multiplied by the internal number gives a sequence that increases each time by a quantity plus 8. The sequence is 40, 64, 96 and 136.
This is nice logical thinking and I cannot reject this answer 8 as it is explained with logical reasoning. However, it will nice to know a simple answer to this puzzle :).
Any hint for the simple answer?
No hints as of now. This is an open-ended puzzle question and one may come up with some innovative answers as some readers have done in the previous comments. I don't want to direct the reader's brain in a particular direction :).
Ok, I understand. Anyway, 7 because the sum of the 3 horizontal numbers minus the 2 vertical numbers gives 6.
