Or maybe it is 80, who knows. But I don't know how you go counterclockwise and come back from 80 to 20. Or from 40 to 10.

Try copying it in different coloured pens. First fill in the alternate 10 20 40. Then fill in the 20 40 80.

80.

If you divide the pie in half;

The completed side is

10(*2=)20(*2=)40

The incomplete side is

20(*2=)40(*2=)80

At least that's the pattern I see that is accounted for in the choices provided.

10 Jumped out to me too at first.

I think this the best answer I have seen for this.

I don't think it has to do with multiplication. The right-hand side 40 and 20 are in the wrong spot for that.

I notice that you never have the same number in neighboring pie pieces, so it isn't 20 or 40, I guess it is 100 because pie pieces across always start with the same number.

I agree. 100 is the simplest answer that completes a pattern. There is no reason to believe that the problem is based on the numerical values.

Clearly the answer is 4(0) that´s all that Jaco needed

@Downunderwonder cracked it in post #22. That's just too elegant to be wrong.

My post #15 was maybe too elegantly trying to leave a little mystery behind rather than bare all. Now the mystery is how anyone sees it differently, I mean wrong.

Sorry I don't have a final answer. This question appeared on a skills evaluation test Mrs.Radioactiveguy4 was taking but we never got the answers. The consensus here is 80

80.

CCW: pattern is sequential...
10-20-40-80.

CW: pattern is skip a number then go back one...
10>>40<20>>80.

 

[yodedude2]

after ten seconds, i got this: 40. because...there is one 10, two 20s, must be...three 40s.

meh.
