OT: Found this great Space Twitter account.

Why isn't the answer two (2)? Here's my logic...

The first column is represented by the numbers 3 and 5, which differ by 2
The third column is represented by the numbers 6 and 4 which differ by 2
The middle column is represented by the numbers 1 and 3 which would differ by the number 2 which conveniently fits into the middle square.

2 wins the square with a linking diagonal regardless if it's columnar subtraction or addition. My answer is wholly predicated on using "old math". What's the answer if the numbers 3 and 5 ....and 4 and 6 now don't differ by the quantity formerly known as 2? 🤷‍♂️

Nope, it’s five. First column: three subtracted from five is two. Third column is two subtracted from six is four. Therefore one subtracted from five is three!
 
Therefore one subtracted from five is three!
