A family member sent this puzzle to us. I think it may have been making some rounds on social media a while back. Be careful with it. Nothing too difficult mathematically, but it will certainly test your observational skills...so pay extra close attention!! And to be honest, one COULD make the case that there are infinitely many viable solutions to this one (that sounds strange, I know, and we'll explain in our solution). Regardless, we'll give you the solution we think is best and most defensible, and we'll show you how we would solve it on Friday. You can find the solution to this puzzle here.
