After looking at the puzzle for a brief moment the minute it was released, I had the exact theory of how to solve it. Pity I didn't do it right away until hours later when I realised I didn't submit the answer.

I could of cost myself a trophy. I'm sure I won't get in the 250 by now. ):
Also, to clarify things my answer was.. Well. I didn't have to "round" it off. Hopefully those who got it can tell me if I did it right?. It seems too simple.

This is one of those times you wish TNT applied the term "round to the nearest number" into effect.

I understand how there are two possible answers, but one of them doesn't fit the logic. =/

I didn't have to round off anything either... and it does seem very simple. xD

it seems far too easy.

Is it just basic maths? adding, and subtracting?

Add a bit of division and multiplication as well. ;)

I hate it when people say the puzzle is easy, because then I feel like a total idiot for not being able to figure it out.

I've been looking at it for the past hour and I can't see the pattern. I looked at it forwards, and then backwards, I even wrote it out in numerical order, but I just don't see it.

Am I supposed to use more than one type of operation to find it?

I agree with neomania too, I was worried that I had the wrong answer after seeing the boards. Glad I got it but doubt I will get the prize since I submitted it pretty late this time around. :( But hopefully the rewards aren't too bad.

i don't think it's too easy. i can't get it at all, but i'm no good with patterns

the LC about the missing number one was REALLY EASY.
i got it after about a few seconds of looking at the numbers.

There are 2 possible answers ... I disagree that "one of them doesn't fit the logic."

In fact, I would argue that both of them don't fit the logic completely ... both have a problem which requires you to assume something.

Time will tell what they decide, I guess. I hope mine is right, though. :)
