    The answer could be "8", I'm not sure, but I did notice a couple of patterns in the question.

    The number in the first column minus the number in the second column = number in the last column

    7-1 = 6
    9-5 = 4
    7-0 = 7
    8-5 = 3

    so 9-1 = 8

    also the number in the last column minus the number in the next to last column = number in the middle column

    6-4 = 2
    4-1 = 3
    7-2 = 5
    3-1 = 2

    so 8-4 = 4

    :confused:

    i get 8.

    7-1 = 6 2+4= 6

    same pattern all the way down ( - for the first 2 numbers and + for the second 2)
    9-1= 8 4+4= 8

    The first three correct entries selected will be declared the winners and will be notified by the competition judges.

    I guess it's too late? :confused:

    Edit: Oh wait, maybe it's a draw and the first three correct answer drawn?

    Key word I think is selected, meaning out of the whole lot of entries before the closing date :D
