For you puzzle people.

Hi folks.

 

I am doing some puzzles to keep the old cogs turning.

 

I am stuck on this one:

 

Pyramid of squares.

 

1,2,3,4 numbers.

 

Line 1: 168

 

Lin3 2: 12, 14

 

Line 3: ?, 2, ?

 

Line 4: ? 2, 1, ?

 

Now, ? can only be 0 to 9.

 

I think I see the pattern:

 

168

 

1 2* 14 = 168.

 

But am stuck on the missing 4 numbers.

 

Anyone?

Line 4: ? 2, 1, ?

 

 

 

Looks like the object is to multiply the bottom line numbers to make the next line etc

 

Working from the top, as you correctly stated 168 = 12 x 14

 

Line 3 then, 12 must be ? x 2 and 14 = 2 x ? (answers 6 & 7)

 

 

 

Line 4 ..... 6=? x 2 (answer 3), 2=2 x ? (answer 1), 7=1 x ? (answer 7)

 

 

 

168

 

12 14

 

6 2 7

 

3 2 1 7

D'oh, how silly of me to have missed that.
