Answer: The missing number is 5.
Explanation:
In the table we can only have numbers between 1 and 9,
The pattern that i see is:
We have sets of 3 numbers.
"the bottom number is equal to the difference between the two first numers, if the difference is negative, change the sign, if the difference is zero, there goes a 9 (the next number to zero)"
Goin from right to left we have:
9 - 6 = 3
6 - 2 = 4
4 - 9 = - 5 (is negative, so we actually use -(-5) = 5)
4 - 4 = 0 (we can not use zero, so we use the next number, 9)
3 - 3 = 0 (same as above)
? - 1 = 4
? = 4 + 1 = 5
The missing number is 5.
