What numbers should appear in the last box?
Here’s something a little more hands-on:
answers can be submitted in comment section below (although Six Pencil solution is available on Puzzles.com), and will be unmasked Monday. Have a good weekend.

numbers puzzle:
4 I 14
16I 7
top left square- 4
top right square- 14
bottom left square- 16
dude this was easy
How about:
4 14
16 7
upper right is 2x lower right
lower left is upper right +2
upper left is lower right /4
There are several other possible solutions, but I like this one; it seems to fit the best.
Number box is easy enough.
4 14
16 7
The numbers are:
Upper left (UL) = 4
Upper right (UR) = 14
Lower left (LL) = 16
Lower right (LR) = 7 (given)
The rules that apply to each square are:
LR * 2 = UR
UR + 2 = LL
LL / 4 = UL
Nice, an IQ question, I will try:
I think its like this:(from left to right)
first square: “9″X4=36-2=”34″/2=”17″
second square: “7″X4=”28″-2=”26″/2=”13″
? square: “4″X4=”16″-2=”14″/2=”7″
so (? square) will be like this:
4…14
16..7
4 14
16 7
The theory being:
Box 2 = Box 4 * 2
Box 3 = Box 2 + 2
Box 1 = 1/4 Box 3
Top Left: 4
Top Right: 14
Bottom Left: 16
from topleft to bottomleft to topright to bottomright, the pattern is “mutiply by 4, subtract 2, then divide by 2″
working backwards from 7 therefore, i get “4; 16; 14; 7″
(7×2=14, 14+2=16, 16/4=4)
Re the number box:
Where the 9 and 7 are : 5
Clockwise from there : 18, 9, 20
9-2=7-2=5 If a=5,
clockwise: 4a-2, 2a-1, 4a
To do it with six pencils, you make an arrow head with three pencils and with the middle pencil a little lower so all three pencils touch each other. Then place another arrow head across it so all touch.
To do it with seven pencils, make a tall thin triangle one pencil-width apart at the bottom. The pencil at the base overlaps at both ends. Then make another triangle (equilateral, and each pencil overlapping at the corners by about an inch) - also flat but resting on the first one. Put a pencil from each end of the base pencil towards the top of the first triangle- overlapping at the top so they all touch. Then the third one so that it rests on the first triangle’s base, but a bit skew and crossing it where the other two pencil’s are. Then in the little pencil-width gap, slide the last pencil, so that its other end rests on the intersection at the top of the second triangle.
The first box goes like: (*2)-1 = 17, *2 = 34, +2 = 36
The second box : (*2)-1 = 13, *2 = 26, +2 = 28
Then The Third is : (4*2)-1 = , 7*2 = 14, 14+2 =16
4, 14, 16
4,14,16
4,16,14
IQ test:
17×2=34
34+2=36
36/4=9
13×2=26
26+2=28
28/4=7
7×2=14
14+2=16
16/4=4
Numbers are 7, 14, 16, and 4
The numbers in the last square should read:
4, 14
16, 7
4 14
16 7
Up left: 5
Down left: 20
Up right: 18
Down right: 9
Top Row (l-r): 5, 14
Bottome row: 20
I’m probably way off base with this (and I’ll kick myself when I see the answer!), but I’m guessing at these: (from top left) 3; 16; 18.
my answer above was given when i thought the 3rd square was ALL blank. for some reson i didn’t see the 7.
sorry….
answer:
4 14
17 7
RK,
Could you explain 4,14,17,7?
Thanks
RK,
It looks like your answer is a typo. If not, can you explain it?
oops!
4 14
16 7
