I am going to give a list of groups of numbers of the form

X,Y,Z

I'd like to see if anyone can discover the missing number, marked with a question mark (?). If you figure it out, just give the number.

Here it is:

2,3,13
2,5,14
2,3,[b]?
8,1,3
1,9,27
1,(undefined),8[/b]

x=the number of peices per side,
Y=what each peice is worth,
Z=the maximum number of moves each peice can make.

Oh, right, with all THOSE giveaways, I get it now.

I'm off to bed then. 'Night.

then its not strictly a relational math problem but a word
association problem. When I first looked I thought maybe
you were making a magic square, which would be a strict
math problem but there is no solution for a magic square
when one side is al small numbers and the other end is all large.
So we are left with a subjective association kind of thing which
is way over my snot laden neurons.
