You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It's simple :)
\n" ); document.write( "Just add the numbers from 1 to 9, then subtract the sum of the numbers the children got. You'll get the number which was not distributed. :)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2B2%2B3%2B4%2B5%2B6%2B7%2B8%2B9=45\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"45-7-10-11-12=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You're actually correct :) You dont need to know what combination of numbers they got, :)\r
