I never figured out anything on the thread ..but I like the last post ... :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: opcorn:

This problem is not math at all....

This is pretty simple if you know what to look for...
The numbers 6,8,9, and 0 all have loops in them. You are just counting the number of loops in each sequence.

For example 6690 has 4, but 8875 has 4 as well. The 8 has 2 itself.


:hihihi:

..I think you used Google Dan... :hihihi: ..I looked at it forever, and being a visual math solver most of the time....I never understood what they were doing anyways. I was lost... :smilie_happy: ..who ever heard of counting loops in school... :shock:..but that's what they are doing.

 

[dan filipi]

Makes sense with the grade school kids I guess.
My kids were learning patterns and sequences then.

I remember tracking my kids to make 8's by loops but not 9 & 6.... that did not cross my mind to count loops..
