Hey All; @StemGeeks Mathematician;

Without further, ado, let's get to our Brain Teaser :: Can You Find The Missing Number?

Have a close look at the image given and see if you can find the missing number from the last Rhombus image with a question mark in it. Just remember there hasn't have to be a logic always. The puzzle isn't that hard to solve.

There are few different solution and simple basic math's knowledge is required to get the equation right. Just give it a try - all you need to do is pick up a rough paper and see the equation that's being formed and you will get the answer. Just give it a try and its that simple I assure you. There is no right or wrong - comment your answer on the reply box below to enter a chance to WIN 10 STEM tokens...

STEM token GiveAway...

I'll be again doing a giveaway of STEM tokens to the lucky random winner with the correct answer. For the last contest, which was Brain Teaser :: Can You Solve the EQUATION?.

Solution :: Brain Teaser :: Can You Solve the EQUATION?

Pattern being followed was:: sum of the numbers in middle column equals to sum of the remaining numbers in the table. Therefore the calculation would be as follows::

Sum of column in the middle :: 24 + 25 + 11 = 60 ;

Remaining numbers in the table would be :: 17 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 7 = 60 ;

Hence the Answer is = 7

Finally the answer to the puzzle was:: 7

We had TWO entries and none of them could provide the right answer. But still I am going to give away the reward to @sperosamuel15 for making an effort to solve the puzzle.. well done...

Using the Rows of the box:
17+24+6= 47
25+10+8=43
Then for the last row,
12+11+X=39
Which is, 23+X=39
Hence, X=16

What we see here is the sum of the rows been odd numbers and then a subtraction of 4 from the answer you got on the first rows to get the answer on the second row.

47-4= 43
Hence,
43-4=39

Congratulations @sperosamuel15 - You WIN yourself 10 STEM tokens each. You should be having the rewards in your STEM Wallet Soon.
