The answer is square....
The number of sides in the first figure squared is equal to the sum of the sides of the remaining figures.
The sad thing is I only get to check this place occasionally - so wont be able to set another qn!

Well done Raz, and thanks - it had me beat

If Dr J does not turn up and nominate a worthy successor AND the nominee does not post a question promptly
we have (yet another) Foot Race, starting as soon as this post is listed as being posted *yesterday*
Any Seconders?

Jim Bakus - Do know
6th Pres - John Quincey Adams
Klugman - played Quincey on TV
Air Crompression - De Quincey seems to have invented a saw pump that is credited with compressing Air

See? Told you it was easy. De Quincey actually had a company named after him as well.
Jim Backus was the voice of Mr Magoo, whose first name was also Quincey.
Over to you Rhino.

This thread seems a bit comatose of late.
Who wants to pose a question?
