numbers in hexagons

Well, do you mind explaining why do you think it is 2?

The correct answer is supposed to be 3 !

So is there a 2 where the question mark is? No. Therefore 2 is missing.

2?

hex 1, first take pair/s 6's=12, 8+3+1=12, left with 2

 

hex 2, pair 4's +pair 3's=14, 9+7=16, 16-14=2

 

hex 3, 6+6=12, 8+5+1=14, 14-12=2 again.

 

so do you first have to add the pairs in each hex, then all other numbers must equal pairs, then what is left is your answer.

 

other than that i have no idea.

That makes little sense, If you input your answer , you get hex 3, 6+6=12, 8+5+1+2=16, 16-12=4 which means nothing.

maybe becouse number 3 is the only number we can always find in these hexagons?

that's the only reasonable rule i can think of ...

You may be right. I forget my exact original reasoning, though IIRC I was looking at differences between opposite hextants or some such a matter. :)
