Behind this little game lies in reality a real test. Mathematical puzzles are much more than just entertainment. We also find them in a number of IQ tests since they represent serious training for our brain. With this little grid, your IQ and logical reasoning are put to the test. Time flies and only players with a sharp mind will be able to find the relationship hidden between all these numbers.

Top ! The minute is up. Do you think you have found the solution? On the contrary, are you reluctant and not sure of your answer? It’s time to check it all out. First, did you notice that each number in the top row is the simple result of subtracting two numbers below it? But yes, look at the 4 at the top of the figure. It results from the subtraction of the two numbers below: 6-2 = 4.  And if we take the bottom 4 boxes, 19-10 = 9, while 7-6 = 1, i.e. the two numbers placed above . And our missing number in all this? If we use this subtraction logic, we must carry out the following operation: 10-7 = 3. Here is the solution to this grid:

Therefore, the missing number here, 3, is the correct answer. Did you find it? Congratulations, especially if you found the answer in less than a minute.
