Cop Challenge #8- Crunching Numbers
Welcome to the towns proud little laboratories.
for this challenge you will be doing some of the complicated calculations for the chemists of this lab.
Below are fragmented pieces of a number grid created by scientists within the lab. Like all clumsy nerds, this grid was broken by a simple drop where it shattered. When correctly assembled however, these fragments should become a 10x10 grid. The grid follows a very specific pattern.
Each number is either double the number to its left, or the sum of the digits of the number to its left.
When all 25 pieces are assembled correctly on the grid, you must then analyze the sequence of 10 number tiles that start at the top left corner, diagonally to the tile on the right bottom. You must add these tiles. In your confessional, you must then make a post in this format.
"Correct Calculation: [Your Answer]"
This should be done in your challenge thread. The person who has the correct answer first will win this challenge.
If no one guesses right in 24 hours we will have a tie-breaker.
If you do not post DONE in your thread after your answer I will take your last response as your final answer once 24 hours has passed.
If you post DONE before 24 hours are up, I will note your last answer as the official answer.
