[QUOTE="Tuzenbach, post: 2234568, member: 16155"] From my understanding, it's this: Circles = 29, 19, 13 = Prime Numbers Triangles = 33, 21, 15 = Odd Numbers Arrows = 30, 20, 10 = Even Numbers The blank spaces: 2 = Prime, so 2 Circles 8 = Even, so 8 Arrows 25 = Odd, so 25 Triangles BUT.....there are a few red herrings: The group which is Prime (29, 19, 13) are ALSO ODD, even though the group which is ODD (33, 21, 15) isn't PRIME. I can see how this would be confusing.....BUT....it's something I would do, just for that purpose! :] I'm sure there are probably more red herrings if one takes the time to look, such as the groups *seemingly* having one number each in the 30's, one number in the 20's (or pretty close with 19!), and one number each in the teens.
