Answer: What Number Is Missing in the Circle Pattern?

Did you get it right?

This number pattern shows three circles. Each circle adds the three numbers to make the total on the right.

The Answer

The correct answer is: 4.

Here is why

1. In the first circle, 2 + 3 + 4 = 9.
2. In the second circle, 5 + 1 + 6 = 12.
3. In the third circle, 4 + 7 + 4 = 15, so the missing number is 4.

Why people miss it
