you have one 6 x 6 block.... I broke it down to four 3 x 3 blocks
yeah, but they dont care what the 2 numbers are, they just want the answer

The last section with no single digit is the one with two covered numbers, so he means that one of them maybe ought to be single digit.
yes but you need to figure out what the numbers are. Personally i am beginning to think that 250 could be the answer.
Thanks maria.... guaranteed the answer is between zero and 9801
Technically speaking it may be possible to figure out an answer without knowing what the numbers are. If for example there's some relationship between products of certain numbers in the matrix, there may be a situation when it's possible to figure out the product, but not the individual numbers.
So far I can't find any relationship of that nature though... still looking....
i dont think anybody has found a connection tho, so i think a lot of people have given up!
Well, I think bullseye is right in saying that one number is single digit. If you divide the picture into four quadrants of nine squares, only the quardrant with the covered numbers is lacking a single digit number.
So maybe we then have to look for a link between the two-digit numbers in the other quadrants to find the other missing number.
I haven't given up, but I'm not banking on being able to improve my trophy. oh well
The 2 missing numbers do mattar, we need them, after we find them, the answer is a piece of cake!
well, i give up and am guessing 250, so good night everyone
Hey, if one of the numbers is 1 digit, it can always be 5 and 50. :p
I am usually very good at noticing patterns in number puzzles... but I gotta tell you... I do not see one in this one
What if it's not just a numerical puzzle. In the past, some of the numerical Lenny's have had the numbers represent things in Neopia (shop numbers, Neopedia articles, Neopet card numbers, etc). I haven't found anything that makes this particular puzzle work out, but it's somthing to think about!
Yea, so you both could be right, there is a one digit number 5, and it could be 50 to, 5x50=250
have tried the shops with the numbers and the games neither makes any sense
I saw one i the upper left one.
9*2=18-2=16
16*2=32-2=30
But it stops there. If it went on, the next one ought to be
30*2=60-2=58
and 58 isn't there. And none of the others have a pattern like that.
Messing with 250...
By adding groups of numbers we can form 250 from the numbers 7 times with 72 in remainder. If that is the play then sum of two remaining numbers would be 178 to complete another 250... But... what's the product?... Another dead end?
i noticed that the three corners equal 151. if you add 99 then it would equal 250. think maybe the fourth corner is 99???
That's actually an amazing idea
