To solve this mystery puzzle, you need to follow these steps for every square in the grid:
1.
Multiply the two numbers inside the square.
2. Look at the
Key at the bottom left to see which color matches that answer.
3.
Color the square with that color.
Here is how the key works:
* If the answer is between
1 and 20, color it
Tan.
* If the answer is between
21 and 40, color it
Blue.
* If the answer is between
41 and 60, color it
Brown.
* If the answer is between
61 and 100, color it
Black.
* If a square is blank (empty), leave it
White.
Example Calculation:
Let's look at the very first square in the top-left corner. It has the numbers
10 and
2.
* $10 \times 2 = 20$
* The number 20 falls into the "1-20" range.
* So, you would color that square
Tan.
Another Example:
Look at a square with
5 and
5.
* $5 \times 5 = 25$
* The number 25 falls into the "21-40" range.
* So, you would color that square
Blue.
You must do this for every single box in the grid. When you are finished coloring all the boxes according to the math answers, a hidden picture will appear!
Final Answer:
To complete the puzzle, multiply the numbers in each box and color them based on the product:
1-20 is Tan,
21-40 is Blue,
41-60 is Brown,
61-100 is Black, and blank squares stay
White.
