To solve this puzzle, we need to find the hidden numbers inside the tangled lines and color them according to the key at the bottom.
Step 1: Understand the Color Key
Look at the numbers at the bottom of the page. Each number has a specific color:
*
1 is Gold/Yellow
*
2 is Purple
*
3 is Light Blue
*
4 is Red
*
5 is Grey/Silver
*
6 is Dark Blue
*
7 is Green
*
8 is Pink/Magenta
*
9 is Yellow
*
0 is Black
Step 2: Find the Numbers in the Puzzle
Let's look closely at the black-and-white drawing to trace the shapes of the numbers.
1.
Top Left: There is a large number
2 on its side.
2.
Top Middle: Right next to the 2, there is a number
0.
3.
Top Right: In the upper right corner, there is another number
0.
4.
Middle Left: Below the first 2, there is a number
3.
5.
Center: In the very middle of the swirls, there is a number
8.
6.
Middle Right: To the right of the 8, there is a number
0.
7.
Bottom Left: Near the bottom left corner, there is a number
1.
8.
Bottom Center: Next to the 1, there is a number
4.
9.
Bottom Right Area: There is a large number
7 standing tall.
10.
Far Bottom Right: Tucked into the corner near the 7, there is a number
1.
*(Note: Some puzzles like this might have a 5, 6, or 9 hidden in tighter spots, but the ones listed above are the most distinct and clear shapes formed by the lines.)*
Step 3: Apply the Colors
Now, match the numbers you found with the colors from the key:
* Color the
2s
Purple.
* Color the
0s
Black.
* Color the
3 Light Blue.
* Color the
8 Pink.
* Color the
