Question

can you solve this puzzle?​

Answer 1

Carefully observing the numbers in the box, we observe that the number in the $\sf{\red{middle box}}$ is the product of the sum of the number in the upper box + the number in right box (Rotate your phone to 180°) into the sum of the number in the bottom box + the number in the box in left box (Rotate to 180°)

Let's take the first one with numbers 6,7,8,5 and 169.

$\sf{The\: number\:in\: the\: upper\: box\: → \:6}$

$\sf{The\: number \:in\: the\: right \:box \:→ \:7}$

$\sf{Their \:sum\: →\: 13}$

$\sf{The \:number\: in \:the \:bottom\: box \:→8}$

$\sf{The\: number \:in \:the \:left \:box\: → 5}$

$\sf{Their\: sum \:→ 13}$

$\sf{Product \:of \:the\: sum\: → 13 ×\times\:13 = \red{169}}$

And we can see that the middle box contain the number 169.

Following the same pattern for the next too having number as 10,8, 6,4 and 180.

$\sf{The\: number \:in \:the \:upper\: box \:→ 10}$

$\sf{The\: number\: in \:the \:right\: box → 8}$

$\sf{Their\: sum \:→ 18}$

$\sf{The\: number\: in\: the \:bottom\: box → 6}$

$\sf{The \:number \:in \:the \:left \:box → 4}$

$\sf{Their \:sum \:→ 10}$

$\sf{Product \:of \:the\: sum\: = 8 \times\:10 = \purple{ 180}}$

And, we see 180 in the box at the centre. So now let's use this pattern for the last remaining one.

In the last one,

$\sf{The\: number\: in \:the \:upper \:box \:→ 9}$

$\sf{The\: number \:in \:the\: right \:box \:→ 7}$

$\sf{Their \:sum \:→ 16}$

$\sf{The \:number\: in\: the \:bottom \:box → 5}$

$\sf{The \:number\: in \:the\: left \:box → 3}$

$\sf{Their \:sum \:→ 8}$

$\sf{Product\: of \:the \:sum\: = 16 \times\: 8 = \blue{128}}$

$\large{\boxed{\sf{\purple{The\:missing\:number\:is\:128}}}}$
