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.

Good luck solving this one!

is each color grid a different grid? i'm guessing so but would like to hear it from you.

[Russell]

nevermind

[Deetster]

Clarification:

Sum of digits would mean:

22 = 4
55= 10
8 = 8

[Deetster]

And all pieces make up the 10x10 grid.

[Deetster]

Apologies, this piece was left out of the puzzle above.

You will also need to discover the piece to omit from this puzzle as well.

Good luck all!

[Deetster]

Continuing the self editing, your main goal will be to make sure that the actual links between pieces follow these rules. In at least one case you will realize a piece itself may have a contradiction within in. Make certain that you have correct bonds. Your goal will be to smash these pieces into the best square possible.

[Deetster]

So I'm realizing some errors in this altogether. My best bid to you all is to continue smashing these pieces together so that they fit, and follow the closest to the pattern possible. If you get a 10x10 square that follows the pattern almost solidly, aside from a 2-4 mistakes, you can be pretty certain that is the correct formation.

[Deetster]

so yeah, im recognizing the square is screwy in areas. My best bet is to create a grid that follows the patterns in almost all areas. If you are doing it incorrect, it will be incorrect in may areas. The correct square will have almost no errors. Apologies again! lol.

[Rocky]

OK Deet, guy. This is frickin retarded. You messed up the challenge. Cancel it and do a new one. You can't expect us to do a challenge trying to guess what you f-d up on.

[Rocky]

The correct square will have almost no errors. Apologies again!

I think not, Deet.

The correct square will be the one you post when you redo this.

[Brett]

I agree with Rocky.... guessing the mistakes is almost like leaving the outcome of this competition to chance :/

[Russell]

I'll take my chances!

[Silas]

Yeah....maybe this one should be a redo...

[Marcus]

I kind of don't want a redo since if we do have one I won't be able to do it tomorrow since I kind of planned something tomorrow with my family since I thought the comp would be today. If there is a new comp good luck to everyone!
