Actually, it could be 4 as well. No one said that it is an addition problem...What we're looking for is patterns, and if you add each column in line 1 and line 2 and add 1 you will get line 3.

Ex:
5 + 2 + 1 = 8
3 + 6 + 1 = 0
7 + 4 + 1 = 2
....
9 + 4 + 1 = 4

But yes, 5 would be the easiest answer.

when the hell did 3+6+1 = 0?

dont be a tool. its not a 4.

when you add line 1 and 2, you carry the 1 over to the next column.
there is no pattern. its simple addition.

I hate math, it's evil. If you know, it only takes 5 minutes to finish a test. If you don't, you don't finish it.

I'd say it was 4 too. With no more instruction than the set of numbers either way seems vaild. And try not being a tool yourself, champ.

6+3+1 is 10, not 0. Only way it's a 0 is if the 1 ends up in the next column over which means you're doing addition of the whole numbers... It's a 5.

Ok, let me clarify - the topic summary says "some puzzle" not "help me with addition." What I saw was 6+3+1 = 10 and kept the ones place value. Since I didn't interpret the problem as a strictly defined addition problem, my way seems valid.
