I would say 4, but that is based on first 2 squares = 9, 2nd 2 squares also equal 9
second row 1st 2 squares = 10, 2nd 2 squares = 10
etc.

well at least that makes more sense than my reason for choosing 4
I added up all the numbers and it was 96, so based on the fact that it is a 4x5 grid and that 4x5=100, then 100-96=4!!

told you your reason was better!!Jo x2007:£5181.09 2008: £6619.70 2009: £4284.49 2010: £5213.14 2011: £4980.62 2012: £3188.52

its 4 the number is 4
(6318)(1973)(5849)(2433)(758?)
count up every 2 digits (6+3=9 1=8=9) (1+9=10 7+3=10) (5+8=13 4+9=13) (2+4=6 3+3=6) (7+5=12 so logic would say 8+4=12) thus concludes my maths lesson as you see every 2 didgits add up the same ))0 -

totally agree
what is great is that everyone used a different method and ended up with the same number!"Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh" Cerys Matthews0
