To solve this sequence, let's analyze the relationships between the numbers around each box and the numbers inside the boxes.

Looking at each box:

1. **First Box**:
   - Numbers around: 36, 19, 27, and 18.
   - Center number: 10.
   - Observation: We could try adding or subtracting combinations of the surrounding numbers to arrive at the center value.

2. **Second Box**:
   - Numbers around: 56, 53, 65, and 51.
   - Center number: 15.
   - Similar to the first box, let's check if a pattern emerges.

3. **Third Box**:
   - Numbers around: 46, 42, 29, and 27.
   - Center number: ? (Unknown; we need to determine this).

Let me try identifying a consistent rule among these. The approach seems likely based on operations such as adding, subtracting, or taking the difference between certain pairs of numbers around each box.

Let's see if a clearer relationship or formula emerges when we analyze these pairs systematically. I'll update you with the solution based on the identified rule.After analyzing the pattern, it appears that the central number in each box might represent the difference between the sums of the top pair and bottom pair of surrounding numbers.

Let's apply this approach to confirm:

### Observations

1. **First Box**:
   - Top numbers: \(36\) and \(19\).
   - Bottom numbers: \(27\) and \(18\).
   - Calculation:
     \[
     (36 + 19) - (27 + 18) = 55 - 45 = 10
     \]
   - Result matches the center number \(10\).

2. **Second Box**:
   - Top numbers: \(56\) and \(53\).
   - Bottom numbers: \(65\) and \(51\).
   - Calculation:
     \[
     (56 + 53) - (65 + 51) = 109 - 116 = -7
     \]
   - The observed center number is \(15\), which doesn't match this approach, indicating a possible alternate rule.

Since this approach failed to consistently apply, I'll explore another potential solution pattern in case

What number should replace '?' in the pattern of numbers around the boxes?

Solve this number pattern puzzle by determining the missing number in the center of the third box. Analyze the sums and differences of numbers surrounding each box to find the solution. Suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
