Please post what you got for the top blanks and what you got for your answer. I'm curious to see if you can figure it out because I can't.. I'm pretty dumb tho. I'll tell you if you're wrong and eventually give you the answer.:spongebob:

5.7.11.13.17

None of those are the answer. :(

I'm not sure about all of the top blanks, but the answer is 16.

ooohhhhh duh, I read it wrong, I thought you were supposed to add 1 to them….lol

Yeah, 16 is it. Can you tell me how you got it? I can't understand it lol

Um, I wrote a SCAR script to solve it quickly. But to figure it out, here's what you do:
1. Find all values under 20 that are multiples of two:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18
2. Eliminate any of those values that divide evenly into 60, which leaves us with:
8, 14, 16, 18
3. Find which ones are one off of a prime number:
16, 18.
4. Find which one isn't a multiple of 3:
16

Alright I get it… thanks a lot for your time man.

No problem. Glad I could be of assistance.
