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

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= 80 -
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?
Edit: Oh wait, maybe it's a draw and the first three correct answer drawn?
