0 Guest Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) I think it's 11 5+6= 11 7+8+8=23 difference of 12 8+8+8+x=35 hence x=11. My methodical approach is annoyingly always complex.

My methodical approach is annoyingly always complex. 34 I like your thinking! But it also strikes me that the first four digits of the given sums are the first four digits of the fibonacci series (1123). So what if the next two digits were the next of the sequence (58). That would mean the equation would be 8+8+8+x=58 Which would mean x=34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
