The puzzle says that you have to draw 15 circles like this:
( )( )( )( )( )
( )( )( )( ) You have to put the numbers 1-15 into it.
( )( )( ) You can't use any number twice
( )( ) and you have to subtract the two numbers
( ) like this :
(15) - (14) - (2) - ( 8 ) - ( 3 )
( 1 ) - (12) - ( 6 ) - ( 5 )
15 - 14 = 1, the 1 goes directly below the two numbers.
(15) - (14) - (2) - ( 8 ) - ( 3 )
( 1 )
14 - 2 = 12 ,the 12 goes directly below the two numbers.
(15) - (14) - (2) - ( 8 ) - ( 3 )
( 1 ) - (12)
12 - 8 = 4, the 4 goes directly below the two numbers.
(15) - (14) - (2) - ( 8 ) - ( 3 )
( 1 ) - (12) - ( 6 )
8 - 3 = 5, the 5 goes directly below the two numbers.
(15) - (14) - (2) - ( 8 ) - ( 3 )
( 1 ) - (12) - ( 6 ) - ( 5 )
And so on and so fourth.
Please help,
