Re: Wee Maths Puzzle

Well, I spent another 15 mins on it and found a rule that worked (everytime) but still couldn't relate this to the name of the game.

(I have now and I still think it's a bit of a trick).

Re: Wee Maths Puzzle

Well apart from the fact that it doesn't seem to work in Netscape 7.1 I managed to get it to work in IE.

I tried it yesterday and couldn't figure it out at all, but I've just tried again and got it.

Frankly I don't see what such puzzles prove except for the fact that some people have too much time on their hands!

Re: Wee Maths Puzzle

I showed my eldest this and he got it in one and I thought it was a lucky guess so I got him to do it again and he did it again but he will not tell me how this is done all he said Mum you will kick yourself once you work it out.

Re: Wee Maths Puzzle

How annoying, I think I may have to beg and plead with my son to explain this game to me.

I have googled this game and I'm still not any closer to working this game out...
