Time is up! Revealing the correct answer, one user commented: "Right side top down 1, 9, 5, 2 = 17 Left side top down 1, 6, 7, 3 = 17 Bottom left to right 3, 4, 8, 2 = 17." Another user said: "Took me five minutes. I feel nice."

A third user added: "To solve it, the key is that 1 to 9 sum 45 and 3x17 is 51, so numbers in the corners must sum 6= 1+2+3. Finding the rest is straightforward..." One more user said: "This was great. Thank you!! I got it within three minutes." A final user said: "Clue: 1 to 9 sum to 45. the three sets of 4 numbers add to 51 (3*17) therefore numbers totalling 6 are counted twice. those go in corners."
