Missing letter

Post by Kirk Bevins »

There are interlocking hexagons. I can't show you the colours but I'm hoping they don't matter. It's a sort of 5x5 grid of numbers but slightly offset due to the tessellation properties of hexagons.

1 1 8 6 3
3 2 1 2 7
0 5 0 4 2
4 3 2 3 1
2 1 3 1 ?

"What numbers should replace the question mark?" (possibly a typo for "what number")

Any help?

Totals of the columns go up by 2 each time. Seems pretty simplistic though. I'd say it's unlikely to be the answer they're after. It also renders the hexagon thing irrelevant.

The answer was 5 for the exact reasoning as above. Well done folks.

Only Kirk gets away with getting C4C people to do his homework.
