33264.
There are several ways of solving this. One way is to represent each spot with a letter, A – E.
Then you have these equations:
A = B
By simplifying, you get:
4 * A + 3 * C = 18
Plug in values for A and C to find that A = 3 C = 2.

Three numbers, 16, 14 and 38, need to be assigned to one of the rows of numbers below. Where do the numbers belong?
A 0 6 8 9 3 B 15 27 21 10 19 C 7 1 47 11 17
Hint: This is not a mathematical problem. The numerical values are irrelevant.
The rows indicate the shape of the number. Row A is rounded, B is mixed and C is linear. Thus, 16 belongs in row B, 14 in row C and 38 in row A.
