Please give your answer in a .zip file or a .xar file, so that other can have a go at the puzzle as well.
WARNING: Some may not like the answer, but, remember that it's meant to be a bit of fun, whilst getting you to think, a little bit!
CLUE: You will definitely need to think outside the box, on this one.
well Mr D, that is a poser :D
I'm afraid that's not the answer, Steve.Quote:

Sorry!
You have to add all three number you place in the spaces, as the drawing suggest.
Hi Rik, my answer is either cheating a bit or bending the rules but you dont say that we cannot do this. Otherwise, I believe it is mathematically impossible.

And I did say in the first post, that some may not like the answer.
When I first realised what the answer was, I did think that it was not in the spirit of things.
But, I did accept the answer, and thought it was worth posting. Just to make you guys and gals think a little bit.
The answer definitely includes 3 balls from the selection provided.
Here is my try at it. If this isn't the answer you are looking for I have another guess
Is this allowed?
I like your thinking Siran. In my book it is good, but I am not the Boss.

You've chosen the same ball twice and left one circle empty.
Please try again!

Good one, siran. So simple but I did not manage to reframe the assignment like you did.
