Re: Missing Letters
Hans, again this proves your mathematical deductive skills and your uncanny knack to spot sequence patterns in numbers!!
#'s 1, 2 and 4 are correct (as usual; as John Grey recently pointed out )
#3 and #5 are the two that are not numerically solvable, though they still are connected to sequences/patterns.
