Examine the mission description in the menu to find several related examples. All of them are solved according to the same principle; you just need to calculate the sequence of actions and complete the last example in the same way.
How to solve the Tricky Puzzle
The Simple Puzzle solution method will not work this time: you need to solve at least one of the completed examples to get the from the terminal. To find the answer, use the following formula: (A*A) - (B*B), where:
- A is the first number;
- B is the second one.
Having studied the first row of numbers “37#21”, you can substitute the formula and see the correct values:
- 37*37 = 1369;

As indicated in the example, the correct answer is “928” - this can be obtained using the formulas presented above. Using the table, you can solve a few more examples and compare the answers indicated in the puzzle description with your own.
| Condition | Solution |
| 37 21 # | 928 |
| 77 44 # | 3993 |
| 123 17 # | 14840 |
| 71 6 # | ? (5005) |
For the last numbers "71#6" use the same formula to arrive at the correct answer and solve the Tricky Puzzle. Step by step solution:
- 71*71 = 5041;
