How to Solve the Puzzle

For those stuck on doc’s third puzzle, you need to multiply the base numbers to the power of the central number or “gods eye”. After doing this you will then add the two numbers together to get the top number, or the number at the top of the triangle.

For example, in the first triangle the base numbers are 5 and 4 with the god eye number being 2, and the top number is 41. 5 to the power of 2 is 25, and 4 to the power of 2 is 16, together these numbers equate to 41, the number at the top.

For visual oriented folks here is a diagram with the same equations and with explanations

Step 1: Base triangle

…….41 <- top number
…../…..\
…/…2….\ <- god’s eye
./………….\
5………… 4 <- base numbers

Step 2: Multiply base numbers to the power of the central number (god’s eye)

……………….41
……………../…..\
……………/…2….\
…………./………….\
5^2 (or5x5)………… 4^2 (or 4×4)

Step 3: Add the new base numbers together to get the number on the top

…….41
……/…..\
…./…2….\
../………….\
25…………16

Follow these same steps for the last triangle and you’ll get your answer, and remember when you multiply something to a power you are multiplying that number to itself that many times.
