Sum-Things Missing Puzzle - Solution
The Puzzle:
The three squares in the diagram are where the paper was so bad I couldn't read them.
What were the three missing numbers?
Our Solution:The most obvious place to start was the 0 on the bottom (don't forget to carry the 1!).
Working towards the left, the next one has to be 9 to make the total 16 (+1 = 17) so we carry another 1.
That means the top left digit must be empty (or a zero):
