What's the answer? And what's the method?

FUUUUUUUUCCKKK HOW DO YOU GET THE LAST 2

It's probably wrong, but I just set up a 3×3 augmented with the last two digit numbers as solutions and solved the matrix.

It's probably something numerologically retarded, not solving a matrix. Otherwise normies wouldn't be able to spam facebook with it and act all smug.

the funny thing is I originally thought the pattern was something else and only realized I was wrong after I had started working out the process behind getting the answer

woops here's a better version

that's way better than anything I've thought of so far, but you missed at step on your solution,
19 is the difference between the differences and not the difference itself, so the number you're subtracting from 72 should be 14 +/- 19
...which brings up a new problem, how do you decide whether it's 33 or -5?
(sorry if I crashed your party)

fuck it, I give up, maybe this is just a troll

woopsy! I think you're right that the answer would then be either 33 or -5, but I would have to go with 33 since it looks like the differences decrease first 13 to 9 to 0 then increase from 0 to 14 to __. In this case 33, I think

There's another version of this question where you can get the last two digits through

(ab + ac) - c

and then reversing the number

then we encounter another problem though, on the first one you subtracted 22 from 35 instead of visa verse like the other ones, if we're not going with absolute value it should be -13 instead

Yeah I guess I was only going for difference in absolute value. If it is the case that we must consider differences being negative then I think finding a pattern would be much more difficult, if possible at all. I would bet that I'm right though, since otherwise it would probably hugely overcomplicate the problem and these sorts of problems are usually simpler than we expect.

that's 6 not 8

Fpbp

8 + 4 + 6 = 32, 24, 71.

Explanation :

The four digits of numbers are multiplied by each other.
4 + 7 + 2 = (4 * 7) and (7 * 2).
= 2814.
7 + 3 + 9 = (7 * 3) and (3 * 9).
= 2127.
6 + 2 + 7 = (6 * 2) and (2 * 7).
= 1214.
2 + 8 + 5 = (2 * 8) and (8 * 5).
= 1640.
8 + 4 + 6 = (8 * 4) and (4 * 6).
= 3224.

To find the 5th digit for the series.
4 + 7 + 2 = 3 (ie) first digit - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3.
7 + 3 + 9 = 8 (ie) first digit + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8.
6 + 2 + 7 = 5 (ie) first digit - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5.
2 + 8 + 5 = 3 (ie) first digit + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3.
8 + 4 + 6 = 7 (ie) first digit - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7.

To find the last Number of equations.

Add the digits on L.H.S, and add first number of R.H.S, then write down the units place digit.
4 + 7 + 2 = 13. So, 13+ 2 =15.
Unit Digit = 5.
7 + 3 + 9 = 19. So, 19 + 2 = 21.
Unit Digit = 1.
6 + 2 + 7 = 15. So, 15 + 1 = 16.
Unit Digit = 6.
2 + 8 + 5 = 15. So, 15 + 1 = 16.
Unit Digit = 6.
8 + 4 + 6 = 18. So 18 + 3 = 21.
Unit Digit = 1.

Then the value for 8 + 4 + 6 is 322471.

There, now we can lay this all to rest.

You were too slow
