Solution Step 0/0

Which fruit from the bottom row should be placed instead of the quesiton mark in the grid?

Explanations

When the number of letters in every fruit’s name is counted it can be seen, the sum of the numbers in the top row, bottom row, left column and right column is the same – 21. This is an incomplete Magic Square 21 with the central number missing. In order ANY row, column or diagonal adds to 21, the central square should be occupied by 7. It is exactly APRICOT which consists of 7 letters.
