Did you get it right?
This number pyramid puzzle asks for the missing top number. Each circle is made by adding the two circles directly below it.
The Answer
The correct answer is: 52.
Here is why
- Bottom row: 4 + 6 = 10, 6 + 9 = 15, and 9 + 3 = 12.
- Next row: 10 + 15 = 25 and 15 + 12 = 27.
- Top row: 25 + 27 = 52.
