common difference:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "96 - 69 = 27\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "69 - 48 = 21\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "48 - 72 = -24\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "72 - 27 = 45\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Not seeing a pattern.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We try something different.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is just a stab.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9 + 6 = 15
\n" ); document.write( "6 + 9 = 15
\n" ); document.write( "4 + 8 = 12
\n" ); document.write( "7 + 2 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "2 + 7 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "?+ ? = 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "|9-6| = 3
\n" ); document.write( "|6-9| = 3
\n" ); document.write( "|4-8| = 4
\n" ); document.write( "|7-2| = 5
\n" ); document.write( "|2-7| = 5
\n" ); document.write( "|?-?| = 6 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will say the answer is 60. Seems to fit both patterns. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
