  11. 10 - 1 + 14 = 23
    6 + 5 + 2 = 13
    13 - 1 + 11 = 23

    pattern being 23 13 23

    that's how I figured out my answer in case anyone was wondering

  17. I've spent an hour on this already and I haven't been able to figure it out =(. The only pattern I found was that if you read the columns left to right it's 10 (-4) 6 (+7) 13 (-12) 1 (+4) 5 (-4) 1 (+13) 14 (-12) 2...

    That is, the differences alternate between addition and subtraction. The differences themselves though (-4, +7, -12, +4, -4, +13, -12) seem to occur randomly. I'm guessing to explain these differences there's another pattern I'd have to find within the numbers, which I haven't found yet. Or maybe I'm just completely off, who knows. I'll guess 7E.

  21. I found the answer after 20 minutes and figured out the pattern. The answer is 18

    The middle number of each Row is placed next to other numbers. Example;

    row

    10---,1=101
    1,---14=114
    |114-101|=13

    row

    6---,5=65
    5,---2=52
    |65-52|=13

    row
    13---,1=131
    1,---18=118
    |131-118|=13

    So the answer is right 18
