Daily Hexa-Trex | Nucleus Learning | Nucleus Learning. Unsolved Hexa Trex: Puzzle Levels Explained | Find the Factors. The object of the FIND THE FACTORS 1 – 10 (or 1 – 12) puzzle is to write the numbers 1 to 10 (or 1 to 12) in the top row and again in the first column so that once the factors are found, the puzzle works as a multiplication table. All of the puzzles require a basic, but not necessarily quick or perfect, knowledge of all the multiplication facts from 1 to 10 or from 1 to 12. Each puzzle has only one solution, and it can be found using logic. Even though some of these puzzles can be completed by 3rd grade students, I know adults who have math or science related degrees who also solve them regularly regardless of the level of the puzzle.

Once a level has been mastered, work on mastering the next level as well. Within each level some puzzles might be more difficult than others for a person to complete. In general the FIND THE FACTORS 1 – 12 puzzles are more difficult to complete than the puzzles that use only multiplication facts up to 100. Like this: Like Loading...

Often there are more efficient and concise solutions, so I see after I’m done and some other point out.

If you solve them using a different method, I’d love to hear about it, feel free to use the comments or contact me.
