Take the time to observe the logic
Let's look at the ties one by one, without rushing.
9 becomes 90
, 8 becomes 72
, 7 becomes 56
, 6 becomes 42
One detail immediately stands out: the results gradually decrease. But above all, each number seems linked to a very simple calculation… if you even notice it.
Try dividing the result by the starting number.
90 ÷ 9 = 10
72 ÷ 8 = 9
56 ÷ 7 = 8
42 ÷ 6 = 7
Now that's getting interesting, isn't it?
The hidden rule finally revealed
The logic is actually very fluid:
Each number is multiplied by a decreasing digit from 10 to 7.
9 × 10 = 90
8 × 9 = 72
7 × 8 = 56
6 × 7 = 42
It then becomes clear that the sequence follows a clear and coherent pattern. Simply continue this logic to find the missing value.
So… what is the value of 3?
Continuing the reasoning:
- The previous multiplier was 7
- It therefore decreases to 6
3 × 6 = 18
The correct answer is therefore 18.
