    Now...the next was not so easy. Frashy's required a long thought process, and several hours thinking it over, logically. I thought that this next equation would be a combination of the two, it would have to incorporate what I had found out from both of the above. Especially the first.

I started counting the top squares and the side squares. Then I did length times width.…

    This problem of the week has a main gain goal set upon boxes. There are five boxes numbered one through zero. Underneath the boxes have the numbers written under them. In the boxes, there are numbers that should be entered in the boxes that all evenly works out. For instance, the number that you put in box zero must be the same as the number of zeros that were used. The same procedures apply when using other boxes. The same number cannot be used in the box, for example, a four cannot be placed in box four or the number two cannot be enlisted in box two. The same number is tolerable to be used more than once. The only exception is that no number higher than four can be expended. My goal for this POW is to corroborate and demonstrate that I have found all solutions and that all solutions work and is credible.…
