The top row repeats 1, 2, 3, and each row below follows the number in the same column: ‘10, 20, 30’, ‘2, 4, 8’, ‘5, 6, 7’ and ‘26, 27, 28’. A 3, B 20, C 10, D 4, E 8, F 2, G 6, H 6, I 27, J 26. (In the original booklet, the last two cells of the top row were printed as ‘1’. We corrected them to ‘2, 3’ to match the numbers below.)
