Here's a check of your answers:

Jaanan dira tse. (Now do these.)
The rule for the pyramids is that each block's number is the sum of the two numbers directly below it.

  1. Pyramid 1 (Top left)

    • Your bottom row: 4, 1, 2, 2
    • Your second row: 4+1=54+1=5, 1+2=31+2=3, 2+2=42+2=4. So, 5, 3, 4. ✅ Correct.
    • Your third row: Based on your second row 5, 3, 4, the numbers should be 5+3=85+3=8 and 3+4=73+4=7. So, 8, 7. You have 7, 3. ❌ Incorrect.
    • Your top row: Based on the correct third row 8, 7, the top number should be 8+7=158+7=15. You have 10. ❌ Incorrect.

    The correct completion for Pyramid 1, based on your bottom row 4, 1, 2, 2, is:

          15
         8   7
        5   3   4
       4  1  2  2
    
  2. Pyramid 2 (Middle, 17 at top)

    • Your bottom row: 2, 2, 2, 3
    • Your second row: 4, 4, 5
    • Your third row: 8, 9
    • Your top row: 17 All calculations are correct. ✅ Correct.
  3. Pyramid 3 (Top right, 28 at top)

    • Your bottom row: 2, 4, 4, 2
    • Your second row: 6, 8, 6
    • Your third row: 14, 14
    • Your top row: 28 All calculations are correct. ✅ Correct.

    Agela go 20 ka mekgwa e 3 e farologaneng. (Count to 20 in 3 different ways.)
    All three pyramids are filled correctly according to the rule (each block is the sum of the two below it) and result in 20 at the top.

  4. Pyramid A (Left, for 20)

    ✅ Correct.

  5. Pyramid B (Middle, for 20)

    ✅ Correct.

  6. Pyramid C (Right, for 20)

    ✅ Correct.

    Kgwetlho (Challenge)

    • Your numbers: Top: 1, Left: 2, Center: 5, Right: 3, Bottom: 4.
    • Rule 1: Use numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 exactly once. (You followed this rule.)
    • Rule 2: 3 numbers in each line add up to 10.

    Let's check the sums for your solution:

    • Vertical line: 1+5+4=101+5+4 = 10. ✅ Correct.
    • Horizontal line: 2+5+3=102+5+3 = 10. ✅ Correct.
    • Diagonal line (Top-Center-Right, as per arrows): 1+5+3=91+5+3 = 9. ❌ Incorrect (should be 10).
    • Diagonal line (Left-Center-Bottom, as per arrows): 2+5+4=112+5+4 = 11. ❌ Incorrect (should be 10).

    Your solution for the challenge puzzle is incorrect because the diagonal lines do not sum to 10. As previously discussed, this puzzle is impossible to solve if all four indicated lines must sum to 10 using each number 1-5 exactly once, due to a mathematical contradiction in the rules.
