Tuesday Puzzle

Dan Donaldson

I will stand in for Alex today ;-) He gets better puzzles than I do ;-)

What is the missing number?

- - -

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

I must be missing something

Shouldn't the last cell have an 8 in it?

I'm sorry; who is standing in for whom here?

Good puzzle. I jumped to the same conclusion as Bill, but wasn't careful enough to follow through to the end to see that the pattern I saw had an inconsistency. And once my mind saw that pattern, it was hard to shift gears and see the correct one discovered by Larry.

Welcome back.
