As you can see, not even a guess.
Just let me know when to post answer.
Not that ANYONE is reading this thread anyway...
Just me...😳

Originally posted by BishopcrwYes, you have the first line, the series is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (easy enough.) The arrangement of pieces to create seven is not important. The hard part is figuring out the last item in the second line.
Is this the solution for the top line?

Second one I am even less sure of
BIG HINT: The two lines are related. Each item in the second line is a result of the corresponding item in the first line.

Good guess, but no.
I thought I was on to something there.
But at second glance my calc was wrong.
My first guess for the second row was

Derived by taking the second row in groups of 3.
There is a increase of one for the first two in the set and a decrease of 2 for the last one. 3, 3, 5 becomes 4, 4, 3 which would become 5, 5, 1.
But after your hint I am sure that is wrong.

Okay, I have no idea.
So I was thinking the top row numbers 4 and 5 were at the center of this puzzle.
I charted the points and came up with some thoughts, but they still do not explain the under lying principle.
Points 5-7 (top row) are a 180 degree rotation of 2-4, Interesting but very unhelpful
I give.
What is the solution?

Okay...Each item in the second line equals the number of letters of the value in the first line...(one=3 letters, two=3 letters, ...)
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
3,3,5,4,4,3,5

By the way, SJ, what happened to that lovely pig you used to have for an avatar? :'( The smile never failed to crack me up!

Originally posted by leisurelyslothI switch around photos frequently, more to amuse myself then others. I like the chess pig the best though, here I'll put him back on. I'll "resurrect" this thread (if someone else doesn't beat me to it) once I have more brainbenders.
