Get you thinking caps on. Math Puzzles got me stumped. HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

I really need you guys. I’ve been on this for a few days now on and off. I cant solve it. Id love the answer but if theres some kind of strategy, Id love to know that too. Thanks TM.

Put the numbers in the circles to all add up to 35:

Good luck! :wink:

Maybe 36?

The 12 numbers are 3 - 15; therefore the average number is 9.

Each sum is the sum of 4 numbers.

The number “12” isn’t present. (3-15 would be 13 numbers.) The average number is 105/12, which (times 4) would be 35.

bup is wrong, because 12 is not one of the numbers.

The numbers total to 105. Each number is counted twice (in two different lines) so the total of all lines is 210. Since there are six lines, 210/6 = 35, so the question is right.

There are two different kinds of nodes in that graph: The corner nodes are different from the middle nodes.

Well, there are 624 solutions, listed below. These are listed starting at the top node, then left to right the next four, and so on.

By the way, to bup, 35 does work, as they are 3 to 15, but 12 is not included. (12 nodes total).

Yes, I figured these all out by hand. not.

	int temp;

}

int shuffle() {

	int k,j,r,s;

	k = NODES-2;

Im not sure if your geting the point of the problem. I see all the possibilities, but what is the correct placement so the puzzle can be solved???

Well, discounting refelections and rotations there are 52 solutions, I think. Maybe any one of those solutions is acceptable…

Bill H. wrote

So, the first solution listed (3 4 5 15 11 14 8 13 7 6 9 10) goes:



   3
4 5 15 11
  14 8
13 7 6 9
   10 


What Bill H is trying to say ** Fugazi79**, is that those are ALL correct solutions, although a lot of them are reflections and rotations of others. Take your pick!

That is correct, Sir.

No shit! Your right. How could I not have accidentally stumbles on to one of those is all my efforts… lol, thanks guys. Got 25 more to go, ill be back im sure. :slight_smile:

As was pointed out, this wasn’t a list of all possible combinations; it was a list of all working solutions. FYI, the total possible permutations is 79,001,599, of which only the 624 listed are correct. And of those, only 52 are “mathematically unique.”

Sorry, I meant 479,001,599.

So, the odds of “accidentally stumbling across one” is just better then one in a million.
